For the first time in league history, the NBA will be holding a tournament midseason this year. The dully and boringly named In-Season Tournament, which will tip off on November 3rd and conclude on December 9th, will include all 30 teams with the champion receiving the NBA Cup. Early last week, the NBA released the groups drawings giving us an early look at what the tournament could look like. The Knicks, who were placed in East Group B, will be joined by the Milwaukee Bucks, and three Southeast Division teams in the Miami Heat, Washington Wizards, and Charlotte Hornets in what could be a closely contested group headlined by three playoff teams from last season.
