NBA play-ins: James and Curry have to tremble – Hartenstein opponents wanted
Basketball superstars LeBron James and Stephen Curry are trembling for the championship round in the NBA play-in tournament – and could even meet each other. James and the Lakers, eighth in the Western Conference, will play for their play-off ticket against the seventh-placed New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night (1:30 a.m./DAZN). The winner of the duel will face champions Denver Nuggets and Nikola Jokic in the first round starting next weekend.
Westen: James, Curry or even both?
The loser of the first play-in in the West gets a second chance. This could lead to a duel between James and Curry if his Golden State Warriors win against the Sacramento Kings (4 a.m./DAZN). The loser of the duel Kings (ninth) against Warriors (tenth) is out straight away. The last play-in game in the West is on Friday (local time), with the winner playing against the Oklahoma City Thunder at the start of the play-offs.
East: Hartenstein against Embiid?
Isaiah Hartenstein and the New York Knicks are looking for their play-off opponents in the East. The Philadelphia 76ers will fight for this spot with Joel Embiid and the Miami Heat on Thursday night (1 a.m./DAZN). The losing team will also fight for the final play-off place on Friday (local time) with the winner of the second play-in game (Chicago Bulls against the Atlanta Hawks/3:30 a.m. Thursday night/DAZN). The opponents there would be the Boston Celtics.
