  • Here's a list of all NBA teams who played in the Play-in Tournament.
  • The NBA Play-in Tournament was introduced in 2020.
  • The first Play-in Tournament happened during the 2020-21 NBA season.

The introduction of the NBA Play-in Tournament during the 2020-21 season has given not only the opportunity for lower-seeded teams in the standings to defy the NBA odds and make it to the playoffs but also provided fans with an exciting opportunity to place their additional bets in BetMGM’s online sportsbook.
