Eastern Conference
The Boston Celtics are currently leading the Eastern Conference with a record of 53-25. They will be playing the Milwaukee Bucks who are second in the conference with a record of 52-26. This will be a great game to watch as both teams are evenly matched.
Boston Celtics vs. Milwaukee Bucks
The Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks are set to go head-to-head in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The Celtics are the favorites to win this series, but the Bucks are a dangerous team and they will be looking to pull off an upset.
This series is scheduled to start on Sunday, April 28th at 1:00pm ET. The first two games of this series will be played in Boston, and the following two games will be played in Milwaukee. If necessary, game five will be played in Boston, game six will be played in Milwaukee, and game seven will be played in Boston.
The Celtics are a talented team, but they have been inconsistent at times this season. They will need to play their best basketball if they want to win this series. The Bucks are a good team, but they have not been great recently. They will need to step up their game if they want to pull off the upset.
Toronto Raptors vs. Philadelphia 76ers
The Toronto Raptors are in the midst of a fight for their playoff lives as they take on the Philadelphia 76ers in a best-of-seven series. The Raptors are currently down 3-2 and will need to win tonight’s game in order to force a Game 7 back in Toronto.
The Raptors have been led by their star point guard, Kyle Lowry, who is averaging 23.8 points, 7.5 assists, and 4.2 rebounds per game in the series. However, it has been the play of their bench that has been the difference maker in this series. The Raptors’ bench has outscored the 76ers’ bench by an average of 18.4 points per game, which has been a key factor in their success thus far.
If the Raptors are going to win tonight’s game and force a Game 7, they will need another big performance from their bench. They will also need Lowry to continue his stellar play and hope that the Sixers’ shooters are not able to get hot from long range again.
Western Conference
The Western Conference is the tougher of the two NBA conferences this year. There are a lot of great teams vying for position and the playoff games are going to be very exciting. Here is a look at the conference and the games that are on today.
Houston Rockets vs. Golden State Warriors
The Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors will be facing off today in the Western Conference Finals. The game will be hosted by the Rockets at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas and will tip-off at 3:30 PM EDT. The Warriors are currently in the lead for the series, with a 2-1 record.
Portland Trail Blazers vs. Denver Nuggets
The Portland Trail Blazers are in the midst of a heated playoff battle against the Denver Nuggets, and today’s game is sure to be a nail-biter. The game will be broadcast on ESPN at 9:00pm ET, and it will be available to stream on the WatchESPN app.
Both teams are coming off of tough losses in their previous games, so they will be looking to bounce back with a win today. The Trail Blazers have been led byDamian Lillard throughout the playoffs, and he will need to continue to play at a high level if they want to win today. On the other side, the Nuggets have been relying on Nikola Jokic to carry them, and he will need to step up again if they want to come out with a victory.
It should be a great game between two evenly matched teams, so make sure to tune in tonight!
