The teams will have a couple of days off before meeting at Chase Center, the first playoff game in the building since Game 5 of last year’s NBA Finals. G17ame 3 will begin at 7pm on Thursday 20th April, with Game 4 to be next Sunday afternoon starting at 12:30pm.

Game 5 will take place in Sacramento on Wednesday 26th, unless either teams pulls off what would be a surprising 4-0 sweep. The teams would return to Chase Center for a Game 6 on the 28th if necessary, with a potential Game 7 in Sacramento on the 30th. That means the final three games, if required, would take place over five days. The starting time of those games are yet to be determined.
