What NBA playoff games are on today, Saturday, April 23?

Six teams play in Game 4 of the opening round of the NBA playoff series, while two meet for a Game 3 clash.

Philadephia 76ers vs. Toronto Raptors

First game of the day pits the Philadelphia 76ers against the Toronto Raptors in Game 4 of their matchup. The Raptors are on the verge of being eliminated and will have to find a way to get on the scoreboard.

The Sixers will have their trump card, MVP finalist Joel Embiid in their lineup, but he has a hurt thumb that could affect his game play.

Here’s how to watch the Sixers-Raptors game.

Dallas Mavericks vs. Utah Jazz

It’s Game 4 as well between the Dallas Mavericks and the Utah Jazz. Utah will seek to even the score, as the Mavs currently lead 2-1.

With the possible return of Luka Doncic, the Jazz will have to figure out how to control the Dallas offense, which has been heating up in the playoffs.

Boston Celtics vs. Brooklyn Nets

The Boston Celtics head to Brooklyn for Game 3 of the playoff series against the Nets. The Celtics are up 2-0, and their efforts to contain Kevin Durant seem to be working.

They limited the supposedly indefensible Nets star to shooting 4 out of 17 from the field in Game 2, and he went 9 for 24 in Game 1. Brooklyn will need to get back into their groove to stay alive in the series.

Memphis Grizzlies vs. Minnesota Timberwolves

Last game for the day is Game 4 between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Minnesota will try to draw level with the Grizzlies, who lead the series 2-1.

After overcoming a 26-point deficit to win in Game 3, Memphis will have momentum on their side. Desmond Bane and Brandon Clark stepped up their game to help in their big comeback win, and the confidence generated by their game could carry over to Game 4.
