The NBA specifically designed the schedule with "Open dates" for 2 unscheduled games.

They also should have done this later in the year.

They could have made it so at the start of the year no teams are scheduled for more than 3 games. Then, based on the tournament results that 4th matchup either happens in the tournament or on the "Open Date" later in the season.
