The NBA has released dates and times for all first-round series, including the No. 1 seed Celtics' matchup with the No. 8 seed Miami Heat. That series is set to begin Sunday, April 21, at 1 p.m. ET at TD Garden.
After falling to the Philadelphia 76ers in the 7-8 matchup of the play-in tournament, the Heat took down the Chicago Bulls on Friday to earn the No. 8 seed and the right to meet the Celtics in Round 1. Boston will be out for revenge after falling to Miami in the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals.
