The NBA shared with players they will use local, state and federal law enforcement, plus former special operations forces, to secure the bubble in Orlando at Walt Disney World, per Tim Bontemps of ESPN.
Furthermore, social media networks will be monitored by Walt Disney Security, NBA Global Security and the Department of Homeland Security for potential threats.

The “bubble” games are set to begin on July 30. 22 teams will be staying at the Walt Disney Resort in three hotels.
If an NBA player leaves the Walt Disney World bubble, he will have to be quarantined for no less than 10 days and must have two negative coronavirus tests. The NBA has created an anonymous hotline to report potential violations of protocols in Orlando, Florida at the “bubble” games.
NBA players have been informed that anyone who leaves the Orlando campus will be subject to a reduction in compensation for games missed and enhanced COVID-19 testing, which would be the wretched deep nasal swab. With that said, odds are players are going to listen to the rules and stay inside the bubble since COVID-19 is no joke and it took a lot of work for the league’s higher-ups to resume games again.
The 22 NBA teams that will be in Orlando will play eight seeding games as selected from its remaining regular-season matchups. At the conclusion of the seeding games, the seven teams in each conference with the best-combined records across regular-season games and seeding contests will automatically qualify for the 2020 playoffs.
