The NBA Season
The NBA season is winding down, and there are only a few weeks left. Many teams are jockeying for position in the standings, and the playoff picture is starting to come into focus. But there are still a lot of games to be played, and anything can happen. Let’s take a look at how the rest of the season could play out.
How many games are left in the season?
The NBA season is 82 games long, and each team plays every other team in their conference four times and each team in the other conference three times. So, if there are 30 teams in the league, that means each team plays 82 games.
What is the playoff format?
The NBA playoffs are a best-of-seven elimination tournament annually held after the NBA’s regular season to determine the league’s champion. The playoffs for the 2020–21 season began on May 22, 2021, and will end no later than July 22, 2021.
The tournament bracket is made up of 16 teams, 8 from each conference. The team with the better record earns home-court advantage in every round. The first two rounds are played between series of games at each team’s home court. For the Conference Finals and NBA Finals, a 2–2–1–1–1 format is used, meaning that one team will host Games 1, 2, 5, and 7 (if necessary), while the other hosts Games 3, 4, and 6 (if necessary); in other words, the higher-seeded remaining team will host Game 6 and 7 only if it wins both Game 5 at home and Game 4 on the road.
What are the standings?
In the National Basketball Association (NBA), the standings are a cumulative record of each team’s win-loss record. Each team plays 82 games in an NBA season. The league’s regular season runs from October to April, and each team plays 41 home games and 41 away games. The NBA playoffs, which are a single-elimination tournament featuring 16 teams from the NBA’s two conferences, run from April to June.
