What NBA playoff games are on today, Tuesday 31 May 2022?
It’s the biggest series of the year as we reach the NBA Finals and the Golden State Warriors have home advantage against the Boston Celtics, fresh from another Game 7.
The Boston Celtics defeated the Miami Heat in Game 7 of their series matchup to win the Eastern Conference championship and advance to the NBA finals for the first time since 2010. They now have a few days to well-deserved rest before their matchup with the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco. The Dubs meanwhile have a whole week to recover from their showdown with the Dallas Mavericks.
Celtics vs. Warriors Game 1 will be held on Thursday 2 June, so there will be no NBA action until then.
