The second edition of the NBA's play-in tournament starts Tuesday and the final participants have narrowed. The teams that finish between seventh and 10th in the standings from each conference will qualify for the tourney to determine who will earn the No. 7 and No. 8 seeds in the playoffs.
Last season, the league kicked off the bubble portion of the season with seeding games to help finalize the postseason participants. This season will be the first time the play-in tournament will use the full season's standings, as superstars LeBron James and Stephen Curry will play on one side and likely Rookie of the Year LaMelo Ball will make his first playoff appearance on the other.
