Which teams will reach the 2021 NBA Finals? We will soon find out how the NBA playoffs progress to the conference finals.
On the Eastern Conference playoff side, the Bucks and Hawks survived tough fights of seven games each in the second round. Milwaukee managed to beat the injured team from Brooklyn, and Atlanta brought out the surprising upset of Philadelphia, which entered the postseason as the No. 1 seed in the East.
During the Western Conference, the Suns and Clippers knocked down the Nuggets and Jazz, respectively. However, both Phoenix and Los Angeles are entering the conference finals missing key stars. Chris Paul must pass league health and safety protocols after a positive test for COVID-19, and Kawhi Leonard is recovering from a right knee sprain he suffered in the previous round.
Here’s everything you need to know about watching the Eastern and Western Conference finals in 2021, including the TV schedule for both series.
