Once again, Maine's season will be split in two. Every NBA G League team will play at least two games at the NBA G League Winter Showcase in December, which is the culmination of the first part of the league's season - the Tip-Off Tournament. During the Tip-Off Tournament, teams are placed into four regions to play 14 games exclusively against each other. The teams with the best winning percentage in each region, along with the next four teams with the best winning percentages regardless of region, will advance to compete for the Championship at the NBA G League Winter Showcase. Once the Showcase is completed, all standings will be reset for the 34-game Regular Season, followed by the NBA G League Playoffs.
