NBA Playoffs 2023: Schedule, How to Watch Lakers vs. Grizzlies, Clippers vs. Suns Today Without Cable

The first round continues on Sunday with four more games on ABC and TNT.

It’s a good day to be a basketball fan. With the play-in tournament behind us, Sunday continues the playoff basketball fun with four more first-round contests. Sixteen of the league’s best teams square off this weekend, beginning a month-and-a-half of games to determine who meets in the NBA Finals in June.

Saturday saw the home team win three of the four contests, with only the Knicks providing a road victory as they held off the Cavaliers in Cleveland. Sunday’s road teams — the Lakers, Heat, Clippers and Timberwolves — will hope today is more favorable to visitors when they take on the Grizzlies, Bucks, Suns and Nuggets, respectively.

The first game, the Lakers at the Grizzlies, kicks off at 3 p.m. ET on ABC. After that the action switches to TNT for the rest of the day.
