Cleveland, playoff basketball is back in the city!

The Cleveland Cavaliers will be in the NBA Playoffs for the first time since the 2017-18 season. They'll have the home-court advantage in the first series as they take on the New York Knicks in round one. 

With the regular season wrapping up on Sunday, the field has officially been set on we now know when Cleveland will play their first game.

The Cavs will take on the Knicks in game one which will be at 6:00 PM ET on Saturday, April 15. The first two games of the series will be at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

The Cavs and the Knicks saw each other four times during the regular season. New York had the edge in the season series winning three of their four meetings.

However, the playoffs are a different atmosphere, and Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, and the company aren't worried about what happened in the past. They're looking ahead to the series.
