82 Regular Season Games
The National Basketball Association (NBA) is a men’s professional basketball league in North America, composed of 30 teams (29 in the United States and 1 in Canada). It is widely considered to be the premier men’s professional basketball league in the world.
The NBA regular season runs from October through early April, with each team playing 82 games.
10 Pre-Season Games
The NBA season typically starts in early October and ends in late June. There are 10 preseason games, 82 regular season games, and up to 28 playoff games.
14 Post-Season Games
In an NBA season, each team plays 82 regular season games. Following the regular season, eight teams from each conference advance to the NBA Playoffs. The Playoff bracket is set so that the two best teams from each conference face each other in the Conference Finals. The winners of the Conference Finals advance to the NBA Finals to compete for the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy.
In total, 14 postseason games are played.
8 Games in the First Round of the Playoffs
In the first round of the playoffs, each team plays each other team in its conference twice. So, if there are eight teams in a conference, each team would play seven other teams. That adds up to 28 games. The second round is the same as the first round, but with only four teams remaining in each conference. So, if there are four teams in a conference, each team would play three other teams. That adds up to 12 games. The conference finals are best-of-seven series. So, if there are two teams in a conference, each team would play six games (three at home and three away). That adds up to 12 games. The NBA Finals is a best-of-seven series. So, if there are two teams in the NBA Finals, each team would play six games (three at home and three away). That adds up to 12 games. In total, there are 88 playoff games: 28 in the first round, 28 in the second round, 20 in the conference finals, and 12 in the NBA Finals.
4 Games in the Conference Semifinals
