Here’s the first-round NBA playoff schedule

The Heat will open its first-round playoff series on the road against Philadelphia on Saturday.

Here’s the full Eastern Conference NBA playoff schedule:

#3 Philadelphia vs. #6 Miami

Saturday April 14: 8 p.m. in Philadelphia on ESPN and Fox Sports Sun

Saturday April 21: 2:30 p.m. in Miami on TNT and Fox Sports Sun

Tuesday April 24: time TBA in Philadelphia

Thursday April 26: time TBA in Miami

Saturday, April 28: time TBA in Philadelphia

A couple of scheduling notes:

• The potential sixth game in Miami opposes Round 1 of the NFL draft.

• ABC bypassed any of the Heat-76ers games but curiously, will carry a Boston-Milwaukee game.

• The winner of the Heat-Philadelphia series will play the winner of that Celtics-Bucks series in round two.
