The NBA released the schedule for its seeding games as the league prepares to resume the 2019-20 season.
Seeding games are the contests all 22 teams will play before the playoffs begin. The games are similar to regular-season matchups and will provide teams a chance to jockey for playoff positions.
The first day of games will begin on July 30, when a TNT doubleheader will feature matchups between the Jazz and Pelicans (6:30 p.m. ET) and the Clippers and Lakers (9 p.m. ET). All matchups will be held at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex near Orlando, Florida.
A total of eight seeding games will be played by each team. The matchups, which can be found below, were selected from the respective team’s remaining regular-season schedule.
