This season, the NBA is implementing an in-season tournament with the regular season schedule.
How does it work?
Each team will play four games against the adversaries of their respective groups to determine their tournament record. The best tournament record from each of the six groups, plus two wild cards, will move on to the actual tournament.

Friday, Nov. 17 vs. Orlando Magic
Friday, Nov. 24 vs. Toronto Raptors
Tuesday, Nov. 28 @ Boston Celtics
