INDIANAPOLIS — The schedule for the Pacers-Bucks first-round Eastern Conference playoff series will be relatively spread out as the teams won’t play Game 2 until Tuesday and won’t play Game 3 until Friday.
After only releasing schedules for Game 1 of each series on Sunday night, the NBA released the rest of the schedules early Wednesday morning after the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies in the Western Conference play-in round, grabbing the No. 7 seed in the West.
After opening the first round on Saturday at 1 p.m. at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the Pacers and Bucks will meet again Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Game 2, which will be televised on NBATV. The series moves to Milwaukee for Game 3 on Friday, April 25 for an 8 p.m. game televised on NBATV and ESPNU and then Game 4 on Sunday, April 27 at 9:30 p.m. for a game televised on TNT. Each of those games will also be available on Fan Duel Sports Network Indiana according to a post on the Pacers’ social media accounts.
Game 5 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse will be April 29 if necessary. Game 6 is set for May 2 at Fiserv Forum and Game 7 is set for May 4 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Times and television for those games have not been scheduled. The conference semifinals will begin May 5-6 but could move up to May 3-4.
