The NBA play-in tournament continues Wednesday with two critical matchups deciding playoff berths. In the East, the Orlando Magic face the Philadelphia 76ers in a battle between teams with identical 45-37 records. The winner advances to face Boston Celtics, while the loser plays Charlotte Hornets for the No. 8 seed after their dramatic 127-126 overtime win Tuesday.

The night's final game features a marquee matchup between the LA Clippers and Golden State Warriors, pitting former Finals MVPs Kawhi Leonard and Stephen Curry against each other. This marks the first time two Finals MVPs have faced off in a play-in game, with Leonard averaging a career-high 27.9 points while Curry played in just 43 games due to injury.

Philadelphia enters with momentum after winning two straight games following a three-game skid. The Clippers hold the season series edge 3-1 against the Warriors, adding psychological advantage. Both winners will face top seeds in the first round, with the East victor taking on Boston and the West winner facing Phoenix.
