The NBA Season is winding down and there are only a few games left. This section will take a look at how many games are left and what teams are still in the running.

The average NBA team plays about 41 home games and 41 away games during the regular season. So, if you want to know how many games are left in the NBA season, you need to look at the schedule for each team and see how many home and away games they have left to play.

The 2020 NBA playoffs are the postseason tournament of the National Basketball Association’s 2019–20 season. The playoffs were originally scheduled to begin on April 18.
