Each of these conferences is then divided into 3 divisions, with the Eastern conference including a Northwest, Pacific, and Southwest division. The Western Conference is split into the Atlantic, Southeast, and Central divisions.

2023 NBA Play-In Tournament

This year, teams ranked 7th to 10th in each conference will compete in a single-elimination format to secure the final two spots in the postseason bracket.

The team that finishes 7th in the standings will play against the 8th-ranked team for the No. 7 seed. Meanwhile, the loser of that game will then face the winner of the matchup between the 9th and 10th ranked teams, with the winner getting the No. 8 seed.

Mark your calendar: the 2023 NBA Play-In Tournament is set to begin on Tuesday, April 11, and run through Friday, April 14.

National Basketball Players in the NBA

For British NBA fans, there is a single player in the league to look out for. He is, of course, OG Anunoby, who currently plays as a small forward/shooting guard for the Toronto Raptors. OG was born in London but moved to the United States with his family at the age of 4. The 25-year-old has been widely praised as an up-and-coming talent since he started his career in 2017.

NBA Winners 2022/23
