2023 NBA playoffs schedule: Bracket, TV channels, times with Kings-Warriors Game 3 on Thursday night

The 2023 NBA playoffs rolled on Wednesday night with a trio of Game 2s. Things started in Memphis, where the second-seeded Grizzlies topped the Lakers without the services of Ja Morant. There was another star injury to watch in Milwaukee, where Giannis Antetokounmpo missed Game 2 due to a back injury but the Bucks took care of business without him. Wednesday's action closes out in Denver, where the top-seeded Nuggets are hoping to cruise to another win against the eighth-seeded Timberwolves. 

The Celtics, Cavaliers and Suns were all winners at home on Tuesday night. Boston went up 2-0 over the Hawks, while Cleveland and Phoenix evened their respective series against the Knicks and Clippers. The 76ers and Kings were both victorious on Monday night, and they'll have the chance to take commanding 3-0 series leads on Thursday against the Nets and Warriors. Golden State, the defending champs, are down 0-2 in a series for the first time in the Stephen Curry era and will not have star veteran Draymond Green in Game 3 after the NBA announced a suspension on Tuesday night.

Below is the daily playoff schedule as well as the results that are in so far, the playoff bracket, dates, times and TV info.
