TNT ramps up their coverage of the NBA Run to the Playoffs starting tonight at 7 p.m. with Boston at home to face Memphis. The pregame show will be hosted by Adam Lefkoe, Candace Parker, Shaquille O'Neal & Vince Carter
Tip off starts at 7:30 p.m. with Pete Pranica, Brendan Haywood & Taylor Rooks on the call of the game.
Here's a quick preview:
Boston Celtics: Riding high with an impressive streak of eight consecutive wins, the Celtics are showcasing their dominance, particularly with their top-ranked defense allowing only 106.1 points per game. Key players like Jayson Tatum and Jrue Holiday are in great form, contributing significantly to their recent victories.
Memphis Grizzlies: On the other hand, the Grizzlies are struggling, having lost five of their last six games. Despite boasting the league's best offense with 123.6 points per game, internal challenges, including the departure of head coach Taylor Jenkins, seem to be affecting their performance.
The game promises to be an exciting clash between Boston's defensive prowess and Memphis's offensive firepower.
The nightcap will begin at 10:30 p.m. with the TNT crew of Kevin Harlan, Reggie Miller & Lauren Jbara doing the honors.
The Los Angeles Lakers are set to host the Houston Rockets in a crucial game as both teams push for playoff positioning. The Lakers, led by LeBron James and Luka Dončić, are looking to solidify their spot in the playoffs after a recent win against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Meanwhile, the Rockets, with standout performances from Jalen Green and Alperen Şengün, are riding high with 11 wins in their last 12 games.
The game will take place at the Crypto.com Arena, where the Rockets have struggled historically, losing their last eight visits. However, with their current form, they'll aim to break that streak and make a strong statement in the Western Conference playoff race.
TNT will have the postgame show featuring the return of Lefkoe, Parker, O'Neal & Carter in their Atlanta studio to recap all the action.
