NextImg:Celtics playoff schedule: Dates, times for Magic series released

The NBA on Wednesday announced the full schedule for the Celtics’ first-round playoff series against the Orlando Magic.

The series will tip off Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET at TD Garden. Boston will host Game 2 next Wednesday before traveling to Orlando for Games 3 and 4 next Friday and Sunday (all at 7 p.m.).

If necessary, Games 5 through 7 will be played in Boston on Tuesday, April 29; in Orlando on Thursday, May 1; and in Boston on Saturday, May 3.

The Celtics, who are vying to become the NBA’s first repeat champion since 2018, enter the postseason as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference after posting a 61-21 regular-season record. The Magic finished seventh in the East at 41-41, then defeated the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday in the opening game of the NBA Play-In Tournament to book a matchup with Boston.

It’s the first time the teams have faced each other in the playoffs since 2010. Boston went 1-2 against Orlando during the regular season, though one of its losses came when head coach Joe Mazzulla sat all of his starters in the final week.

Here is the full schedule and broadcast details (all times ET):

Game 1: Magic at Celtics  (Sunday, April 20, 3:30 p.m., ABC)
Game 2: Magic at Celtics (Wednesday, April 23, 7 p.m., TNT)
