The NBA is organized into two conferences, consisting of three, five-team divisions. Beginning with the 2019-2020 season, the divisions exist for purposes of reducing travel among nearby teams and determining tie-breakers but no longer does a division champion receive a preferential seeding. Instead, the top eight teams from each conference make the playoffs regardless of divisional success. The playoff consists of four rounds, each series best-of-seven.<ref>For the COVID-affected 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons, the NBA modified the playoff system, expanding it to the top ten teams in each conference, with the 7-8 seeds and 9-10 seeds playing each other in a single game; the 7-8 winner gets the 7 seed, the 9-10 loser is eliminated, and the 7-8 loser plays the 9-10 winner for the 8 seed.</ref>
