The 2021 NBA Play-In Tournament schedule has been set. Though the Portland Trail Blazers are working hard to avoid the seventh seed and next week’s tournament, should they participate, their first game will come Wednesday the 19th at a time to be determined. The Blazers would face the Golden State Warriors or Memphis Grizzlies, whomever finishes the regular season with the 8th-best record. The game will be televised on ESPN.
Following last night’s loss to the Phoenix Suns, Portland’s destiny will now be dictated by Sunday’s bout with the Denver Nuggets along with the final fortunes of the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers.
