The NBA playoffs begin on Saturday, starting months of high-level basketball between the league’s best. Prior to the postseason, the NBA released it’s full first round schedule, all the way through potential games sevens.
While the league has been trying to give teams opportunities to rest and recover in between games, one series isn’t getting much of that. The Suns-Clippers series is the only first round series that won’t include two straight days off between any of its first four games. In total, Phoenix and Los Angeles will only have two straight days off once the entire series, one of two series where that is the case.
The LA Clippers-Phoenix Suns series is the only one of the 8 playoff series that will not have a two-day break in between Games 1-4.
