The NBA’s Eastern Conference schedule could accelerate if the Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic close out their first-round series this evening.
Scenario one: Should both clubs win Game 6—Cleveland at the Toronto Raptors and Orlando at home against the Detroit Pistons—Game 1 of their second-round matchup will be held Sunday in Cleveland.
Scenario two: If either team falls tonight, the start of that side of the bracket will be pushed to Tuesday, with the site still undetermined.
Each series stands at 3-2. The Cavaliers carry their lead to Scotiabank Arena, while the Magic look to finish the Pistons at Amway Center. Beyond mere advancement, the outcome will dictate whether the next round begins in 48 hours or early next week.
The NBA has not announced further dates; only the opening game hinges on tonight’s results.
