The Eastern Conference Tiebreakers table presents the status of each team's tiebreakers (in no particular order). Maximum, current, and minimum tiebreakers values are provided. Not all tiebreakers can be listed (such as head-to-head, common games, etc.). Desktop users can hover over a table header or value for detailed information.
Teams may have a different number of games against its tiebreaker opponents, thus average points per game is used.
Each team plays each of its 7 divisional opponents either 3 or 4 times. Additionally, it plays each of its 8 non-divisional conference opponents 3 times. If a team has played one of its tiebreaker opponents an uneven number of games, the first game played in the city that has the extra game(the "odd game") shall not be included.
