The Nets will take on the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Play-In Tournament.

With the Nets' win over the Pacers on Sunday, Brooklyn clinched the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference and will host the Cavs on Tuesday.

The Nets finished the season 44-38, an unexpected record given expectations prior to the start of the season.

Cleveland is led by All-Star point guard Darius Garland. The 22-year-old averaged 21.8 points and 8.6 assists per game this season.

The Nets went 3-1 head-to-head against the Cavs in the regular season. Most recently, they defeated them on Friday.

If the Nets get past the Cavs, they will face the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs. If they lose, they will host the winner of the Atlanta Hawks and Charlotte Hornets 9-10 matchup.
