NBA Playoff Picture: Complete first-round schedule and matchups

The NBA Playoff Picture is now set and the first-round schedule has been released for fans to build their weekend around. 

After a thrilling 82-game season, the NBA Playoff Picture is now set and the first-round matchups we’ve been all trying to predict and project for weeks are set in stone.

It was the best season finale we could have hoped for from the NBA as two teams clinched playoff berths at the last possible moment and other teams moved around their conference’s bracket in a final bid to jockey for positioning. The Bulls, Grizzlies, Clippers and Raptors all moved around their conference’s playoff bracket while teams like the Pelicans and Nets punched their playoff tickets at the last chance they had.

Here’s a look at what the first-round of the NBA playoffs will look like and when you can watch the games.

It’s hard to say which matchup will prove to be the most interesting, as there are storylines all over the place. From obvious storylines like LeBron James returning the Cavaliers to the postseason to newer storylines like Anthony Davis’ first trip to the postseason, this year’s playoff schedule looks to be the most thrilling we’ve seen in a long time.

The hype is there, the talent is present and the NBA Playoffs are going to tip off a summer full of basketball glory.
