The best-of-seven series between the Timberwolves and Warriors will tip off around 8:30 p.m. CT Tuesday in Minneapolis, with the Wolves earning home-court advantage thanks to their No. 6 seed edging out seventh-seeded Golden State.

Minnesota reached the West semifinals by dispatching the Lakers the five games. The Warriors advanced with a win over the Rockets in Game 7 Sunday night. That means the Warriors will be starting the series on one full day of rest compared to five days off for the Wolves.

Almost immediately after the Warriors advanced Sunday night, the NBA released the start times and TV information for the first four games of the series. Let's get to it...

• Game 1: Tuesday, May 6 at Minnesota — 8:30 p.m. CT on TNT
• Game 2: Thursday, May 8 at Minnesota — 7:30 p.m. CT on TNT
• Game 3: Saturday, May 10 at Golden State — 7:30 p.m. CT on ABC
• Game 4: Monday, May 12 at Golden State — 9 p.m. CT on ESPN
• Game 5: Wednesday, May 14 at Minnesota — TBD start on TNT
• Game 6: Sunday, May 18 at Golden State — start and TV are TBD
• Game 7: Tuesday, May 20 at Minnesota — 7:30 p.m. CT on ESPN

If the Wolves knock out the Warriors, they'll advance to the Western Conference Finals for a second year in a row and play the Oklahoma City Thunder or the Denver Nuggets.
