Who will win the first NBA in-season tournament?

How seriously will the Boston Celtics and other ball clubs take it, and will they prioritize it over resting stars or taking it easy to save energy and health for the 2024 NBA Playoffs?

The NBA’s new in-season tournament is already underway, and fans of the respective teams trying to win it for the very first season of its existence are still wrapping their heads around exactly how it works.

But the question of who will win it is an interesting one given the dynamics surrounding it are still, by and large, unknown. How seriously will the Boston Celtics and other ball clubs take it, and will they prioritize it over resting stars or taking it easy to save energy and health for the 2024 NBA Playoffs? On a recent episode of ESPN’s “NBA Countdown,” host Richard Jefferson, the so-called director of ambiance, joined the show to give his predictions for the teams that will come out on top.

To hear which clubs he thinks will come out of each group and compete to win it all this fall, take a look at the clip embedded below courtesy of the NBA on ESPN YouTube channel.
