What Time Is the NBA Game On Tonight?
What time is the NBA game on tonight? Here’s a complete guide to finding out when and where to watch every NBA game this season.
Introduction
The National Basketball Association (NBA) is a professional basketball league in North America. Founded in 1946, the NBA has become one of the most popular sports leagues in the world, with an average attendance of over 17,000 spectators per game.
The NBA Finals is the annual championship series of the NBA. The best-of-seven playoff determines the league champion, which receives the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy.
Eastern Conference
The Eastern Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA) is one of two conferences that makes up the league, the other being the Western Conference. Like the Western Conference, the Eastern Conference is made up of 15 teams, organized in three divisions.
The conference was established at the inception of the NBA in 1949, when as part of adding a second conference to rival the Western Conference, three expansions teams were added in one fell swoop. Of these expansion teams, only one is still in its original city: the Milwaukee Bucks. The other two teams to join that year were the Minneapolis Lakers (now the Los Angeles Lakers) and what was then known as the Tri-Cities Blackhawks (now called simply the Atlanta Hawks).
The Hawks would be joined by two more 1949 expansion teams in 1950: The Syracuse Nationals (later moved and renamed to become the Philadelphia 76ers) and the Fort Wayne Pistons (since moved to Detroit).
Western Conference
The Western Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA) is one of two conferences that makes up the league, the other being the Eastern Conference. Like the Eastern Conference, the Western Conference is made up of 15 teams, organized in three divisions.
The divisional and conference setup was adopted when the NBA realigned its teams in 2004, moving a total of 10 franchises. As a result of realignment, the then-existing Midwest Division moved to become the Southwest Division, while three new divisions were formed: The Northwest Division, which took in five former members of the now-defunct Midwest Division; the Pacific Division, which took in all four teams from California; and finally, the Central Division, which was essentially a renaming of the old Midwest Division.
Conclusion
The answer to this question depends on a few factors, including the day of the week and which teams are playing. Generally speaking, NBA games are typically played in the evening or night time, with most games starting at either 7:00pm or 8:00pm EST. However, there are some weekday games that start earlier, at 6:00pm EST. You can check the schedule for specific game times on the NBA website.
