• A Central Division Clash: For the first time since 2018, the Pacers and Cavaliers will do battle in the playoffs with a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals on the line.

• Traditional Atlantic Division Foes Meet in East Semis: Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks (#3 seed) match up with Jayson Tatum and the reigning NBA champions Boston Celtics (#2 seed) in the Eastern Conference Semifinal round. This marks the first meeting between these two customary rivals in the playoffs since 2013.

• Curry vs. Ant-Man: Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors (#7 seed) continue their quest for another championship against the electrifying Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves (#6 seed) in a fun Western Conference Semifinals matchup.  

With the first round wrapping up this weekend with a pair of Game 7 matchups (Clippers-Nuggets on Saturday & Warriors-Rockets on Sunday), the time has come for us to talk through the NBA's Conference Semifinals. The Conference Semifinals start dates range from Sunday, May 4 (Pacers-Cavaliers, Game 1) through Tuesday, May 6 (Warriors-Rockets or Rockets-Timberwolves, Game 1). With that in mind, here is a brief rundown of each Conference Semifinal series.

The Conference Semifinal round opens up on Sunday, May 4. At 6:00 PM (ET) on TNT, Jarrett Allen and the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers host Andrew Nembhard and the No. 4 seeded Indiana Pacers for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. The Pacers won the series with the Cavaliers this year, 3-1, including two wins at Rocket Arena. The Cavaliers dominated the Heat via their four-game first round sweep, while Indiana got past Milwaukee in the First Round for the second consecutive season. 🎙 Spero Dedes (play-by-play), Greg Anthony (analyst), & Jared Greenberg (reporter) will call Sunday's Pacers vs. Cavaliers game on TNT at 6:00 PM (ET).

The following day, Monday, May 5, two more Conference Semifinal series begin with a Monday night playoff doubleheader on TNT. 

To begin the evening, at 7:00 PM (ET) on TNT, Karl-Anthony Towns and the No. 3 seed New York Knicks begin their Eastern Conference Semifinals on the road at Boston's TD Garden vs. Jaylen Brown and the defending NBA champion Boston Celtics (No. 2 seed). This season, the Celtics swept the Knicks, winning all four regular season meetings. These two longtime foes meet in a playoff setting for the 16th time in NBA history. The Celtics defeated the Magic in a five-game Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, while the Knicks survived a hard-fought six-game First Round series with the Pistons (thanks to Jalen Brunson's late-game Game 6 heroics). 🎙 Longtime NBA play-by-play announcer Kevin Harlan, analyst and Hall of Famer Reggie Miller, & reporter Allie LaForce are slated for Monday's Game 1 contest and for all Knicks vs. Celtics TNT games during the second round.

In Monday's nightcap on TNT (9:30 PM ET), the Western Conference Semifinals begin in Oklahoma City as Jalen (J-Dub) Williams and the Oklahoma City Thunder play the host role for Russell Westbrook and the Denver Nuggets in Game 1 of their best-of-seven Western Conference Semifinal series. During the regular season, the teams split four regular season meetings. Thunder guard and MVP favorite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues his excellent season, as he led the NBA in scoring this year with 32.7 points per game. 🎙 Ian Eagle (play-by-play) calls Nuggets vs. Thunder Game 1 on TNT, alongside analyst and Hall of Famer Grant Hill and reporter Stephanie Ready.

The final Conference Semifinal series to launch will officially do so on Tuesday, May 6 at 9:30 PM (ET) on TNT, with Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals. Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors (No. 7 seed) visit Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves (No. 6 seed) for the start of the Western Conference Semifinals. 🎙 Game 1 of the Warriors-Timberwolves series on TNT features Brian Anderson (play-by-play), Stan Van Gundy (analyst), & Lauren Jbara (reporter) on commentary.

Once all four Conference Semifinals get started, the Second Round continues daily with live games through at least Monday, May 12. If any series were to be extended past the four-game minimum requirement, additional Second Round games will be played between Tuesday, May 13 and Monday, May 19.
