The second round is underway in the 2023 NBA playoffs, and the most star-studded matchup of the postseason tips off Tuesday night. Stephen Curry and the Warriors host LeBron James and the Lakers for Game 1 in San Francisco after both teams advanced as the lower seed. It’s the fifth playoff meeting between Curry and James, and the first since the 2018 NBA Finals. Also on Tuesday: Knicks vs. Heat Game 2 as New York tries to bounce back at home. Miami will be without star Jimmy Bulter in Game 2 due to an ankle injury.
The 76ers were a surprise winner on Monday, as James Harden led a Joel Embiid-less Philly to a Game 1 road win over the second-seeded Celtics. The Nuggets, meanwhile, are the only team with a 2-0 second-round lead. Denver came back to capture Game 2 at home on Monday over the Suns. Game 3 of that series is set for Friday in Phoenix.
As the bracket changes and the second round schedule gets going, we’re keeping track of everything you need to know about the 2023 NBA playoffs. Below is the daily playoff schedule as well as the previous results, the playoff bracket, dates, times and TV/streaming info.
