NBA Cup: Standings, Schedule, Scores
The Emirates NBA Cup returns for its third edition, starting on October 31 and concluding with the championship game in December. All 30 NBA teams are divided into six groups of five within their conferences, seeded based on the 2024-25 season win-loss records.
In group play, each team will compete in four games. The top team from each group, along with two wild-card teams, will advance to the knockout rounds. All games in the NBA Cup will count toward the regular-season standings, except the championship game.
