NBA standings questions
- Who leads the NBA Eastern Conference?
- Detroit Pistons lead the East at 5-1 after 81 games played league-wide in the 2026-27 season.
- Who leads the NBA Western Conference?
- Memphis Grizzlies lead the West at 5-0 after 81 games played league-wide in the 2026-27 season.
- How does the NBA play-in tournament work?
- Seeds 1 to 6 in each conference go straight to the playoffs. Seeds 7 to 10 play in: 7 hosts 8 and the winner is the 7 seed; 9 hosts 10, the loser is out, and the winner visits the loser of 7 v 8 for the 8 seed.
- How are projected wins calculated?
- Each team keeps its current record and plays its remaining games at its win rate so far, blended with 12 games of .500 so early records do not swing the projection. It is a record-based guide, not a betting line.
