The NBA will use winning percentage to determine the final playoff standings, according to Tim Bontemps of ESPN.

This scenario will take place only in case of a tie. Each team will play eight “seeding” games to determine the final lineup for the 2020 playoffs.

ESPN story on the NBA‘s decision to base the standings after the seeding games on winning percentage – giving a leg-up to Portland in the race for a spot in possible play-in games – and closing the door on extra play-in games in Orlando. https://t.co/6PmPBRdzSR
