When are NBA playoff tickets available? The answer may vary depending on the team you are looking to support.
When Do the Playoffs Start?
The NBA playoffs are a best-of-seven elimination tournament held annually after the conclusion of the regular season. The top eight teams in each conference (Western and Eastern) qualify for the playoffs. The NBA playoffs begin in April and can last until June.
How Many Teams Make the Playoffs?
In the NBA, 16 teams make the playoffs. The top eight teams in each conference (Eastern and Western) qualify for the playoffs. The conference seeding is based on each team’s record. The team with the best record is seeded first, the team with the second-best record is seeded second, and so on.
What is the Format of the Playoffs?
The NBA Playoffs are a best-of-seven elimination tournament held after the conclusion of the NBA’s regular season to determine the league’s championship for that season. The tournament brackets are made up of eight teams from each of the league’s two conferences. The four winners of the first-round series advance to the second round, otherwise known as the conference semifinals, where they play against a team from the opposite conference. The two winners of those series advance to the third round, or conference finals, where they play each other for a chance to advance to the NBA Finals. The winner of that series then plays in the NBA Finals against the champion of the other conference.
How Are the Seeding and Bracketing Decided?
The seeding and bracketing process for the NBA playoffs is a complex one, but we’ll try to give you a basic overview. The playoffs are composed of 16 teams, 8 from the Western Conference and 8 from the Eastern Conference. The conference winners are seeded 1 and 2, regardless of record. The next 14 teams are then seeded based on record, with the division winners getting the highest seeds.
So, for example, if the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics both have the best record in their respective conferences, they would be seeded 1 and 2. The other conference winner would be seeded 3, and then the next best team in each conference would be seeded 4-7.
The first round of the playoffs is a best-of-seven series between these pairs of teams:
(1) Western Conference vs. (8) Western Conference
(2) Western Conference vs. (7) Western Conference
(3) Western Conference vs. (6) Western Conference
(4) Western Conference vs. (5) Western Conference
(1) Eastern Conference vs. (8) Eastern Conference
(2) Eastern Conference vs. (7) Eastern Conference
(3) Eastern Conference vs. (6) Eastern Conference
(4) Eastern Conference vs.(5) Eastern Conference
After the first round, things get a little more complicated because there is no longer a distinction between “Eastern” and “Western” teams; the matchups are simply based on who won and who lost in the previous rounds. The second round features these matchup possibilities:
West 1 winner vs. West 4 winner
West 2 winner vs. West 3 winner
East 1 winner vs. East 4 winner
East 2 winner vs. East 3 winner
Round two is also a best-of-seven series; whoever wins four games advances to the conference finals. In the conference finals, it’s another best-of-seven matchup between the remaining two teams; whoever wins four games in that series goes on to the NBA Finals to play for the championship against either Golden State Warriors or Toronto Raptors
How Many Games are in the Playoffs?
The NBA postseason is a best-of-seven elimination tournament among 16 teams that have qualified for the playoffs. Eight teams from each of the league’s two conferences qualify for the playoffs. This means that, in each conference, the division winner with the best record (and seed) gets a first-round bye while the other division winners are seeded second through fifth based on their regular season records. The remaining seeds are filled by wild card teams, which can come from any division in their respective conference but must have one of the conference’s better records.
