With the 30 teams divided into six groups of five teams, everyone will have played at least one game by the end of Friday. And with only four games in the group, there isn’t much room for error. Here is a summary of how the tournament works:
- The 30 NBA teams have been divided into six groups of five teams: three groups in the Eastern Conference and three groups in the Western Conference.
- Teams will play the other four teams in their group in a round-robin style on Tuesdays and Fridays between November 12 and December 3.
- Eight teams (the six group winners plus one wild card team from each conference) will advance to the knockout round. Ranking will be determined by overall record, head-to-head record, and point difference if a tiebreaker is needed (there are even more tiebreakers if necessary).
- The elimination round will be single elimination. The four East teams will be on one side of the draw, the four West teams will be on the other. The final between the East and West winners will take place on December 17 in Las Vegas.
The NBA Cup will continue on November 19 with six games, including the undefeated Cavs against the defending champion Celtics.
