Introduction
The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the premier professional basketball league in the United States and Canada. Founded in 1946, the NBA today is home to 30 teams, 29 in the United States and one in Canada. The league schedule typically runs from late October to early April, with each team playing 82 regular season games.
Today’s NBA Schedule
The Los Angeles Lakers are set to take on the Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Center tonight at 7:30 pm. The Nets are currently on a three game losing streak, while the Lakers are coming off of a tough loss to the New York Knicks. This should be an exciting game to watch!
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 primary differences between the Eastern and Western Conferences are that teams in the East have more historical rivalries, as well as younger and less experienced rosters. Consequently, eastern teams have fared poorly in recent years in NBA Finals competitions against their counterparts from the West.
The current divisional alignment was introduced in 2004, when the now Charlotte Hornets began play as an expansion team. The following season, when another expansion team – the Minnesota Timberwolves – joined the league, realignment resulted in an equal number of teams (six) in each divisions of both conferences.
Western Conference
Los Angeles Lakers vs. Los Angeles Clippers
Golden State Warriors vs. Houston Rockets
Portland Trail Blazers vs. Denver Nuggets
Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Sacramento Kings
Utah Jazz vs. New Orleans Pelicans
