Dallas and the Warriors in the same group. The NBA In-season tournament draw has taken place

The draw for the NBA In-season tournament, sponsored by Emirates, has taken place.

Teams were randomly divided into groups of five within their conferences based on their performance in the 2023-24 regular season. From November 12 to December 3, each team will play four group stage matches on "Cup Nights" — one match against each team in their group, with two matches at home and two away.

Eight teams will advance to the playoffs: the winner of each of the six groups and one wild card team from each conference. The wild card team will be the one that finishes second in its group with the best results in the group stage from each conference.

Western Conference

• Group A: Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles Clippers, Sacramento Kings, Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers.
• Group B: Oklahoma City Thunder, Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers, Utah Jazz, San Antonio Spurs.
• Group C: Denver Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks, New Orleans Pelicans, Golden State Warriors, Memphis Grizzlies.

Eastern Conference

• Group A: New York Knicks, Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers, Brooklyn Nets, Charlotte Hornets.
• Group B: Milwaukee Bucks, Indiana Pacers, Miami Heat, Toronto Raptors, Detroit Pistons.
• Group C: Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls, Atlanta Hawks, Washington Wizards.

Just a reminder, last year the Los Angeles Lakers won the first In-season tournament.
