The seventh-seeded Brooklyn Nets and No. 2 Toronto Raptors will be the first two Eastern Conference teams to tip-off on Monday as the 2020 NBA Playoffs gets rolling at 1:30 p.m. with the Western Conference battle between the No. 3 Denver Nuggets and No. 6 Utah Jazz.
The Nets and Raptors get rolling shortly after Nuggets vs. Jazz at 4 p.m.
Nets fans will still be able to watch their local broadcast team on YES Network in the first round. Pregame coverage starts at 3:30 p.m., on Monday but there won’t be postgame coverage with New York Yankees pregame coverage kicking off at 6:30 p.m.
Out-of-market fans can watch the Nets on ESPN — as can local fans, if they prefer.
The Nets’ radio broadcast will be on WFAN, as well. Yankees coverage could run into any Brooklyn postgame coverage, too.
