Why some teams are not playing
The National Basketball Association (NBA) is an American professional basketball league. It is made up of 30 teams who play an 82-game regular season. The NBA playoffs are a best-of-seven playoff between the eight seeded teams in each conference.
The playoffs start in April, and the winner of the NBA Finals is crowned in June.
During the playoffs, teams that win four games advance to the next round, while teams that lose four games are eliminated.
Some teams are not playing during the NBA playoffs because they did not make it to the playoffs or they lost in the first round.
What this means for the teams that are playing
The teams that are playing tonight will have to adjust their gameplans without those players. Some players may be out due to injuries, but others may be resting up for the playoffs or upcoming games. This can create an opportunity for other players on the team to step up and fill the void. However, it can also mean that the team is at a disadvantage against their opponents.
