      The Boston Celtics now know who they will square off against in the first round of the 2022 NBA playoffs.

      The second-seeded C's are set to meet the Brooklyn Nets, who clinched the Eastern Conference's seventh seed Tuesday night with a play-in tournament game win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. This marks the second consecutive season we'll see a Celtics-Nets matchup in Round 1.

      The best-of-seven series is scheduled to begin Sunday afternoon at TD Garden. Here's the full schedule for the Boston-Brooklyn showdown:

      Game 1: Nets at Celtics -- Sunday, April 17 at 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC)
      Game 2: Nets at Celtics -- Wednesday, April 20 at 7 p.m. ET (TNT)
      Game 3: Celtics at Nets -- Saturday, April 23 at TBD (ESPN)
