When looking at the team standings in the NBA, I always see some team being up or down “half a game”.
What does this mean? How does it happen?

The teams have played different number of games. If a team is 5-3 and another is 5-2, they’re not a full game ahead in the standings because they have the same number of wins but one fewer losses. If they were 6-2, that would be a full game ahead, but at 5-2 it’s only .5 game ahead.
