NBA players dont get paid per game....they have contracts for a length of time. They do however may have incentives like if they score so many points or have so many assists they may give them a bonus...this is to get the players to really try their hardest to have a better chance to win.
From what I've read a players agent negotiates his contract and paycheck around said players life style so it could be weekly, bi-weekly, monthly....Keep in mind they Also get a big chunk when they sign their contract (gaurenteed Money)...Also from what I've heard their Tax bracket changes also, depending on what state they are playing in....Say the Cubs are playing the Rockies in Colo. they pay Colo. Taxes for games played there...Again just what I heard
Some get paid weekly, some every other week, some monthly. It depends on how their contract is written.
