Suns-Nuggets Game 1 Time Revealed

The Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets could have played at two different times on Saturday. Now, we know when to expect the opening tip.

It's nearly time for the second round of the NBA playoffs to get underway, and many hope the series between the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets can prove to be one for the books. 

With stars such as Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Chris Paul, Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray ready to battle, Suns-Nuggets has the potential to be one of the better postseason meetings in recent memory. 

We knew when Game 1 was (Saturday, April 29) but still did not know a time, as the NBA was waiting to see if Celtics-Hawks would need a Game 7 on the same day. However, Boston was able to finish off Atlanta to advance in the series, and thus the Suns will open their second round at 5:30 PM PST tomorrow. 

Shortly after, the league released the full schedule of start times and broadcast networks for Games 1-4:

Game 1: Phoenix Suns at Denver Nuggets

Saturday, April 29 at 5:30 PM PST (TNT)

Game 2: Phoenix Suns at Denver Nuggets

Monday, May 1 at 7:00 PM PST (TNT)

Game 3: Denver Nuggets at Phoenix Suns

Friday, May 5 at 7:00 PM PST (ESPN)

Game 4: Denver Nuggets at Phoenix Suns

Sunday, May 7 at 5:00 PM PST (TNT)

The Nuggets are the West's No. 1 seed and are highly favored by analytics to move on to the conference finals - FiveThirtyEight's simulations gave them roughly a 66% chance to move past Phoenix. 

Will the Suns' star power come through when they need it most? We're just over 24 hours from finding out.
