How Many Games Does an NBA Team Play?
The answer to this question may seem obvious, but it’s actually a bit more complicated than you might think. Here’s a look at how many games an NBA team plays in a season.
82 Regular Season Games
In an NBA season, each team plays 82 games. 41 of those games are played at home, and 41 are played away. There are also 3 different types of game:
-Regular season games: These are the majority of the games, and they count towards a team’s record.
-Preseason games: These don’t count towards a team’s record, but they’re used to help them prepare for the regular season.
-Playoff games: The best teams from the regular season play each other in a tournament until there is only one team left standing.
Pre-Season Games
An NBA team plays 82 regular season games. They also play a pre-season, which consists of exhibition games. An exhibition game is a game that does not count towards a team’s regular season record.
The NBA pre-season generally consists of 8 games. However, the number of pre-season games may vary depending on the schedule for a particular year.
The number of games an NBA team plays in a season can also vary depending on whether or not the team makes it to the playoffs. If a team makes it to the playoffs, they will play additional games. The number of playoff games a team can play depends on how far they advance in the playoffs.
Post-Season Games
In the NBA, teams can play a maximum of 28 post-season games. This includes the Conference Finals and the NBA Finals.
