Heat’s first two playoff games to be Sunday, Tuesday at FTX Arena | Full schedule
The Miami Heat still lack an opponent for their first-round NBA playoff series, but they now at least have a schedule.
The NBA early Wednesday released the dates for the Heat’s opening best-of-seven series, including initial games at FTX Arena on Sunday and Tuesday.
The only start times included in the league’s initial release were that the Heat’s series opener will be Sunday at 1 p.m., with Game 4 of the series on the road to be a week from Sunday at 7 p.m.
The Heat will play the team that secures the No. 8 playoff berth in the Eastern Conference, which will be decided Friday.
The Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets and Cleveland Cavaliers remain in contention for that spot.
The Heat’s opening-round best-of-seven schedule:
Game 1: Sunday, 1 p.m. FTX Arena, TNT
Game 2: Tuesday, Time TBA, FTX Arena
Game 3: Friday, at No. 8, Time TBA, ESPN.
Game 4: Sun. April 24, at No. 8, 7 p.m. TNT
