It's time for the 2021 NBA play-in tournament. loung_s takes a closer look at the Eastern Conference matchups before tip-off Tuesday between the Celtics and Wizards and Pacers and Hornets ⤵️

have had a tumultuous end to their season as they slowly and precipitously fell down the Eastern Conference standings to finish as the No. 9 seed.

Despite all of this, though, the Pacers managed to scratch and claw their way to the No. 9 seed in the East, and finished with a 4-3 record in their last seven games, including a win over the first-place Philadelphia 76ers.Bleacher Report Sabonis and Brogdon are probably Indiana’s two best players and if they’re unable to go, it would leave Caris LeVert on a bit of an island to fend off a young and hungry Hornets team that could’ve been more dangerous if not for the unfortunate season-ending injury to Gordon Hayward earlier in the season.

Talent like that will always be dangerous in a one-and-done situation, but the reality of Charlotte’s situation is this is a team that slumped hard to end the season, losing six of its last seven games, including its last five games in a row.
