All four rounds will be played in a bubble environment at one or two sites yet to be determined.

The NBA had originally scheduled the playoffs to start on May 15, but pushed back the start date after several players tested positive for COVID-19. The league has since implemented stricter protocols, including daily testing, to prevent further spread of the virus.

How will the playoffs be structured?

The NBA playoffs will begin on May 22, 2021. The playoffs will be structured differently this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There will be four rounds of best-of-seven series in the playoffs. The first round will be between the 7th and 10th seeds in each conference. The second round will be between the 2nd and 3rd seeds in each conference. The conference semifinals will be between the 1st and 4th seeds in each conference. The conference finals will be between the winners of the conference semifinals. The NBA Finals will be between the winners of the conference finals.

There will be four rounds of playoffs

The 2021 NBA playoffs will follow a familiar format, with four rounds of best-of-seven series deciding the league champion.

But there are some changes coming to the postseason this year. The most notable is the expansion of the playoffs to include 22 teams, up from 16 in previous seasons. That means more chances for upsets and more opportunities for teams to make a deep run in the playoffs.

Here’s a look at how the 2021 NBA playoffs will be structured:

First round: The first round of the playoffs will feature the usual best-of-seven format, with the higher-seeded team hosting Games 1, 2, 5 and 7 (if necessary). The series will be played from May 22-June 2.

Second round: The second round will also be best-of-seven, with the higher-seeded team hosting Games 1, 2, 5 and 7 (if necessary). The series will be played from June 4-15.

Conference finals: The conference finals will return to a best-of-seven format this year, after being played as best-of-five series in 2020. As in previous years, the higher-seeded team will host Games 1, 2, 5 and 7 (if necessary). The series will be played from June 17-27.

NBA Finals: The Finals will also return to a best-of-seven format this year. As in previous years, the higher-seeded team will host Games 1, 2, 5 and 7 (if necessary). The series will be played from July 1-11.

The first three rounds will be best-of-seven series

The first three rounds of the 2021 NBA playoffs will follow a traditional best-of-seven series format, with the higher seed hosting Games 1, 2, 5 and 7. The NBA Finals will again be a best-of-seven series.

The playoff field will consist of the top seven teams in each conference by win-loss record, with seedings determined by those records. The final spot in each conference will be awarded to the team with the next-best record regardless of divisional affiliation, even if its record is worse than a non-playoff team in its own division.

In order to reduce travel during the pandemic, the NBA is planning to have all games during the first two rounds taking place at four sites: two in each conference. The specific sites have not yet been announced.

The Finals will be a best-of-seven series

The 2021 NBA playoffs will be the postseason tournament of the National Basketball Association’s 2020–21 season. The tournament will begin on May 22, 2021, and will end no later than July 22. The Finals will be a best-of-seven series.

The NBA playoff seeding will be determined by each team’s record at the end of the regular season. The tournament bracket will consist of four rounds: the First Round, the Semifinals, the Conference Finals, and finally the NBA Finals.
