48 Games
The National Basketball Association (NBA) is a professional men’s 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 begins in October and ends in April, with each team playing 82 games. For many years, 50 games was the standard length for an NBA season, but that changed when a players’ strike shortened the 1998–99 season to 50 games. In the Lockout-shortened 2011-2012 season, each team played only 66 games. The 2012-2013 season was 82 games long.
Assuming no more lockouts in the future, an NBA regular season will always be 82 games long from this point on.
