How does the NBA Play-In Tournament work?

Seeds 7 to 10 in each conference play in. The 7th seed hosts the 8th, and the winner is the 7th seed in the playoffs. The 9th hosts the 10th, and the loser is out. The loser of 7 vs 8 then hosts the winner of 9 vs 10 for the 8th seed.

What does GB mean in the standings?

Games behind: how far a team trails the conference leader. It is the difference in wins plus the difference in losses, divided by two.

How often do these standings update?
