The NBA playoff matchups are (mostly) set. And so is the playoff schedule of the first round.
No benefit from home court on the Disney campus. Every first round will continue with games every other day, starting Monday. And get ready for four games a day (until a team is eliminated) with tip-off as early as 1 pm ET for some games.
The top-seeded Los Angeles Lakers will open their Western Conference series on Tuesday, as will the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks in the East.
The first playoff game is between Denver-Utah on Monday at 1:30 ET – late tomorrow Rocky Mountain especially for fans of those two teams.
All times Eastern; Games 5-7, if needed
