The 2022 NBA play-in tournament is officially set, with plenty of star power to go around. The four games will go as follows: East: (7) Brooklyn Nets vs.

The Pelicans shouldn't expect Williamson to ride in and save the season, and Minnesota has been the better team all season. Wolves get the 8th seed and face the Suns, while New Orleans looks forward to a bright 2022-23 season. Watching Towns and Valanciunas in the paint is like seeing The Rock bear-hug Jason Momoa, as there's a whole lot of muscle being thrown around. This is assuming Allen can return, as his presence in the middle will help keep Young honest. The second-year guard averaged 23.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists on 46.3 percent shooting in his four games vs. George returned to the Clippers lineup on March 29 and averaged 22.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 2.8 steals and shot a blistering 52.5 percent from three in five games. He elected not to have surgery in hopes of returning for the playoffs but is still without a timetable for his return. John Collins missed 23 of the last 27 games with finger and foot injuries and is unlikely to play, although the Hawks have proven they can win while only going eight deep in the rotation. Atlanta has been one of the hottest teams over the last few months and has the playoff experience edge here. Gordon Hayward, one of the few veterans on the team with postseason experience, will miss the play-in tournament and be out indefinitely because of foot soreness. From there, the loser of the 7-8 game will play the winner of the 9-10 games to see who gets the final playoff ticket as the No. 8 seed. Allen, also a first-time All-Star in 2022, has missed the last 18 games after breaking the middle finger on his left hand.

The first tiebreaker is head-to-head record, followed by a division winner tiebreaker. Even though division winners aren't guaranteed a playoff spot, there's ...

The No. 7 and No. 8 seeds are determined by the play-in tournament. There are now 20 teams eligible for postseason play with the introduction of the play-in tournament. The No. 1 seed plays the No. 8 seed, 2 plays 7, 3 plays 6 and 4 plays 5.
