The In-Season Tournament is back for its checkup. Only it's now known as the Emirates NBA Cup.

For the second season, 30 teams will compete in the mid-season competition for bragging rights, and most importantly, $500,000 per winning player. Regardless, it gives the league a little extra boost during the season.

Last year, the Lakers took home the inaugural title, beating the Pacers for the crown. Can LeBron James and Co. go back-to-back?

It all goes down this November and December with four games a team. Eight move to the playoffs, two play for the title, but only one will win the NBA Cup in Las Vegas this winter. Call it an extra holiday gift as the best of the East and West go at it.

Here's everything to know about this year's NBA Cup, including a schedule and how to get the best deals on tickets for every game.
