How many NBA games do you have to win to make it to the playoofs?
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.
