No bubble. The Play-In Tournament is over. It’s time for the 2021 NBA Playoffs, and we have the schedule plus all the other information you need.

The NBA postseason is back — and back to its traditional format with seven-game series and teams traveling from city to city. The league hopes that with nearly 80% of players vaccinated the coronavirus will not disrupt the NBA postseason the way it did the first half of the season itself.

Here is the 2021 NBA playoffs schedule (all times are Eastern), with odds courtesy our partner PointsBet:
