1159 tracked regular-season games · Each team’s comparison uses the same games on both sides. These are observed starting prices—not sales totals or the most expensive individual seat. Missing checks are not invented; the last recorded price is retained. A finished game’s retained price is the last check taken before tip-off, and prices can still move after it. News may coincide with changes, but these figures don’t establish the cause.
75% Back If You Cancel
Cancel for any reason, 72+ hours before tipoff.
No Fees
The price you see is the price you pay.
Guaranteed Entry

How the index works
Every number comes from OnlyBasketballTickets.com’s own listings: the cheapest available seat for each game, all-in with no fees. Unconfirmed listings (TBD opponents, “if necessary” games, the playoffs and the NBA Cup knockout rounds) are left out. We re-check prices four times a day, so rankings shift as injury reports, rest days and standings change through the season.
