Really, it seems that what lived by Toronto Raptors in the finals against the Golden State Warriors is from another era due to all the water that has run under the bridge since that consecration. In the absence of some games being played, the schedule is already settled.
The first thing to clarify is that Los Angeles Lakers still await rival. You will just know him from Play-In que disputará Memphis Grizzlies ante Phoenix Suns o Portland Trail Blazers (playing this Thursday). That is to say, LeBron James and company will just know who they play against on Saturday, the day that the final tie will be played to decide the last place in the postseason.
As for the first round matches, as usual, two will be played for each conference per day. The first of them will take place next Monday, August 17, in the game between the Utah Jazz and Denver Nuggets. Also, on the same dayThe Brooklyn Nets will face off against the Toronto Raptors, the Philadelphia 76ers versus the Boston Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks versus the Los Angeles Clippers.
In all, on Tuesday 18 the remaining four games will be played: Orlando Magic – Milwaukee Bucks, Miami Heat – Indiana Pacers, Oklahoma City Thunder – Houston Rockets and the winner of the Play-In against the Los Angeles Lakers. On both days, the matches will run from 1:30 PM (US East Coast Time) with the last one starting at 9:00 PM. What has not changed is the alternation of the parties. That is, each one of them will be disputed every other day. For example, those who debut on the 17th will play that day, the 19th, 21st and 23rd. If more matches are needed to define the series, they will continue in the same way.
