The regular season starts in October

The playoffs are a single-elimination tournament consisting of four rounds. The first round is known as the wild card round and it consists of eight teams. The four teams with the best record in each conference (Eastern and Western) will receive a bye in the first round and advance to the second round, which is known as the Divisional Round.
In the second round, the Eastern Conference’s top seed will face the wild card team with the best record, while the Eastern Conference’s second seed will face the wild card team with the second-best record. In the Western Conference, those matchups will be reversed. The winners of each Divisional Round matchup will then advance to their respective conference’s semifinals, which is known as the Conference Finals.
The winners of each conference’s semifinal matchup will then advance to the NBA Finals, which is a best-of-seven series between the Eastern and Western Conference champions.
