The play-in games are set, as NBA looks to the postseason
Irving and the Brooklyn Nets held off the Indiana Pacers 134-126 on Sunday, and will play host to the first play-in game of this year’s tournament when they face the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night. That matchup wasn’t set until Sunday, nor was the other Eastern Conference play-in matchup: No. The winner of that game will play the Nets-Cavaliers loser on Friday to determine who’ll face No. It’ll mark the fewest number of players in NBA history to have appeared in every game for a full regular season. There were 11 players who appeared in all 72 games last season, which was shortened because of the pandemic.
