Pistons at Magic 1\u20131 (East No. 1 vs. 8)Game 1: Magic 112, Pistons 101 Game 2: Pistons 98, Magic 83Game 3: Saturday, April 25, 1 p.m. ET in Orlando (Peacock\/NBC Sports Network)<\/p>\n
Cunningham was spectacular in Game 1, but got very little help from his Detroit teammates. The Pistons are still looking for others to step up, but Cunnnigham was able to get Jalen Duren going just a bit while the Pistons dominated the Magic defensively. Detroit now has some momentum heading into Game 3 down in Orlando Saturday, though the Magic still successfully stole home court advantage by winning Game 1.<\/p>\n
Thunder at Suns 2\u20130 (West No. 1 vs. 8)Game 1: Thunder 119, Suns 84Game 2: Thunder 120, Suns 107Game 3: Saturday, April 25, 3:30 p.m. ET in Phoenix (NBC\/Peacock)<\/p>\n
Oklahoma City jumped out to a commanding lead, dominating Game 1 and cruising to a Game 2 win despite an injury to Jalen Williams<\/a> costing him the balance of that contest. He\u2019s now week-to-week with a hamstring strain. The Thunder should be able to get through Phoenix without him, but his absence looms large moving forward.<\/p>\n Knicks at Hawks 1\u20132 (East No. 3 vs. 6)Game 1: Knicks 113, Hawks 102Game 2: Hawks 107, Knicks 106Game 3: Hawks 109, Knicks 108Game 4: Saturday, April 25, 6 p.m. ET in Atlanta (NBC\/Peacock)<\/p>\n The Hawks have been a Knicks playoff adversary for years now, and the rivalry continues even after Trae Young was traded to the Wizards. In his place, C.J. McCollum has filled the role as villain<\/a>. Even if he isn\u2019t nearly as antagonistic, Knicks fans have felt victimized by him all the same as he\u2019s averaged 27 points per game in the series so far.<\/p>\n Nuggets at Timberwolves 1\u20132 (West No. 3 vs. 6)Game 1: Nuggets 116, Timberwolves 105 Game 2: Timberwolves 119, Nuggets 114Game 3: Timberwolves 113, Nuggets 96Game 4: Saturday, April 25, 6 p.m. ET in Minneapolis (ABC)<\/p>\n Denver imposed its will on Minnesota in Game 1, but the following two contests were all T\u2019Wolves, including an impressive Game 3 blowout win. Anthony Edwards was far from his best in Game 3, but Minnesota got huge lifts from the likes of Jaden McDaniels and Ayo Dosunmu, while making Nikola Joki\u0107 work for 27 points on 7-of-26 shooting. <\/p>\n More NBA From\u00a0Sports Illustrated<\/p>\n Listen to SI\u2019s NBA podcast,\u00a0Open Floor, below or on\u00a0Apple<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Spotify<\/a>.
