As the Philadelphia 76ers get set to take on the Brooklyn Nets in Round 1 of the NBA Playoffs beginning on Saturday, nobody knew the rest of the series schedule outside of Game 1.
That mystery is no more as the league released the full first-round series schedule around the league. The Sixers and the Nets will get underway on Saturday at 1 p.m. EDT with Game 2 of that series set for Monday at 7:30 p.m. EDT with both games being at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
The series will then shift north to Brooklyn with Game 3 set for April 20 at 7:30 p.m. EDT and Game 4 will be on April 22 at 1 p.m. EDT. If needed, Game 5 will be on April 24, Game 6 will be on April 27, and Game 7 will be on April 29. Times for those games are yet to be determined.

The Sixers are heavy favorites in this series considering they are led by a star duo in Joel Embiid and James Harden and it is expected that this will be a quick series. Philadelphia will have to take care of business against a scrappy Nets team.
