The NBA Cup has five group-play nights left, starting Friday, Nov. 13, and most of the national games stream on Amazon's Prime Video.

The league lists every other Cup game for NBA League Pass, including seven of the nine games on Nov. 13.
Each team plays four group games, one against every opponent in its five-team group. The six group winners and one wild card from each conference, the best second-place team, move on to the knockout rounds.
Knockout rounds and the final in Indianapolis
The quarterfinals are Dec. 4 and 5 and the semifinals Dec. 8 or 9, all at the home arena of the higher seed. Prime Video streams every knockout game, the championship included. Players on the eight knockout teams split a prize pool that grows the further their team advances, though the format guide does not list the amounts.
All 67 Cup games count in the regular-season standings except the championship.
