Full schedule of NBA Playoffs first round playoff series

The NBA wraps up its seeding schedule on Friday, but almost everything is settled. Only one spot has yet to be decided. The No. 8 seed in the Western conference will be determined via play-in series, with the Memphis Grizzlies facing either the Portland Trail Blazers or Phoenix Suns in a two-game series Saturday and Sunday. If the No. 8 team wins Saturday, the series ends. If the No. 9 team wins Saturday, it goes to winner-take-all on Sunday.

There are still some No. 4 vs. No. 5 seed matchups are being sorted out in terms of who has “home court” for the series, but that really doesn’t matter. It will impact which team wears their home jerseys, but with all games being played in Orlando, there is no home court advantage.

The NBA released their full first round schedule, including game dates, start times, and television channels. The games will air on a combination of ESPN, TNT, ABC, and NBA TV. ESPN and ABC games can be streamed at WatchESPN, while TNT games will be streamable at TNT Drama.

Here is the complete schedule, with television details.
