The most interesting games now belong to a few teams battling for 8th and final playoff spot.

In summary, with approximately a month left in NBA regular season, many of games have hardly any value to fans.

Would this severely reduce revenue for league?

No. Of thirty teams in league only a select few consistently fill seats of their arenas. And by beginning of March many sports fans are preparing for baseball, golf, and auto racing. The NBA teams would be better off keeping fan’s interest and selling tickets to those already empty seats. In addition teams have two weeks of expenses off books.

Plus, with NBA finals ending just past mid-May instead of going into June, television ratings could be better equating into a more lucrative TV contract.
