Dates and times for the single-elimination second round, which will be hosted by the team with the better regular season record, have yet to be determined and will be announced as soon as they are available.
The NBA D-League Finals will tip off following the conclusion of the second round and will begin on the home floor of the team with the worse regular season record while the team with the better regular season record will host game two, and if necessary, game three.
