There are no set number of games a team has to win to make the NBA playoffs. After the 82-game regular season, the top 8 teams in each conference make the playoffs. Usually, if a ten can finish at least 41-41 they stand a moderate chance of sneaking into the playoffs as one of the lower teams for their conference, and often one or two teams with losing records will make it.
