We set up a table on how to decide on a tie, according to the official NBA website , read the table top to bottom with the winner being decided as soon as stipulation is met. Each conference is then made up of 3 divisions, making it a total of 15 teams per conference.
The section below contains a table of which NBA teams are in which division. The 30 teams of the NBA are divided into 2 conferences of 15 teams, each conference is then divided into 3 divisions of 5 teams each. These divisions come into play when deciding playoff seeds and tiebreakers. The entire NBA playoffs are divided into 4 rounds, including the Finals.
Each round has every team match up and play a Best-of-7 series, meaning the first team to reach 4 wins moves onto the next round. The teams with the seventh-highest and eighth-highest winning percentages in each conference will each have two opportunities to win one game to earn a playoff spot.
The teams with the ninth-highest and tenth-highest winning percentages in each conference will each have to win two consecutive games to earn a playoff spot.

This season, the NBA has decided to bring back the Play-In tournament with a bit of a a twist on the format that we saw last year.
There will be six games played in total — three in the East and three in the West 00 over the four-day span. The four teams that finish seventh through 10th in the East will play on Tuesday while the West play-in teams will be in action on Wednesday night.
The last game of the tournament will take place on Friday, May 21 one day before the start of the NBA playoffs. The winner of the No. The loser of that game will go on to face the winner No. The winner of the second game will qualify for the No. In simpler terms: If your team finishes the regular season in seventh or eighth place, they only need to win one of the two tournament games to make the postseason. If your team finished in ninth or 10th, they must win two games and can only qualify for the No.
With the season slated to end on May 16, teams seeded will have extra rest heading into the playoffs. This new format also gives an added advantage to the No.
