2023 NBA playoffs bracket, schedule: Celtics look to pull even with 76ers; Lakers go up 1-0; Knicks tie series

[ad_1]

The second round is underway in the 2023 NBA playoffs, and Wednesday night the second-seeded Celtics will be scrapping to avoid losing the first two games of their series at home to a 76ers squad, who again may be without Joel Embiid, Philadelphia’s freshly-named MVP, as he continues his comeback from a knee injury.

Meanwhile, the series that many hoped the basketball gods would deliver — Stephen Curry’s Warriors vs. LeBron James’ Lakers — began Tuesday in San Francisco, and it was Anthony Davis who led Los Angeles at both ends of the floor in stealing home-court advantage. Game 2 will be Thursday. Earlier, the Knicks evened their series with the Heat, though it was nowhere near as easy of a victory considering New York had its top two players in Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle, while Miami was without All-Star Jimmy Bulter due to an ankle injury. Game 3 will be in Miami Saturday afternoon.

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.
