how many timeouts does a team get in the nba
Time-out (sport) In the North American National Basketball Association, the rule on timeouts is more complex. Effective the 2017-18 NBA season, teams are allowed seven timeouts, of 75 seconds in length. There is no limit on substitutions. In overtime periods, each team is allowed two timeouts. A request for a timeout by a player in the game or the head coach shall be granted only when the ball is dead or in control of a player on the team making the request.
National Basketball Association During the regular season, each team plays 82 games, 41 each home and away. A team faces opponents in its own division four times a year (16 games). Each team plays six of the teams from the other two divisions in its conference four times (24 games), and the remaining four teams three times (12 games). Finally, each team plays all the teams in the other conference twice apiece (30 games). This asymmetrical structure means the strength of schedule will vary between teams (but not as significantly as the NFL or MLB). Over five seasons, each team will have played 80 games against their division (20 games against each opponent, 10 at home, 10 on the road), 180 games against the rest of their conference (18 games against each opponent, 9 at home, 9 on the road), and 150 games against the other conference (10 games against each team, 5 at home, 5 on the road).
