Eight teams will advance to the knockout stage – the team with the best group play record in each group and the two wild cards (the team from each conference with the best group play record that finished second in their group).
The elimination games will be single elimination games. The quarter-final stage will be held on the 4th and 5th of December in the market of the top teams.
The semifinals are Dec. 7 and the championship game is Dec. 9, both in Las Vegas.
The champion team will win $500,000 per player and the NBA trophy. Meanwhile, players from the team that loses in the championship will receive $200,000, players from the team that will lose in the semifinals will receive $100,000, and players from the team that will lose in the quarterfinals will receive $50,000.
All games except the championship game count toward the regular season win-loss record.
