NBA 2020 Season Restart Details
During the past few weeks, online sports news sites reported the NBA’s plan to restart the season. Majority of the discussion centers on the venue, where a single area will be reserved for the league, as well as changes to the games moving toward the playoffs. Now, we finally have more data as officials announce the NBA 2020 season restart schedule.
The first chunk of the schedule will be the seeding games, from July 30 to August 14. The 22 teams will be playing 8 seeding games each. The venue, the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, will be host to a maximum of 7 games per day. The 88 seeding games, will count toward the statistics for the regular season, as well as the regular season standings. Of course, this is a far cry from the 259 supposed regular-season matchups. But having less NBA games in your PayPerHead does not mean less excitement for sports bettors. If anything, these changes will make things more exciting than ever.
