Tonight’s fun features a Game 7 between the Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets at 5:30 p.m. PT (8:30 p.m. ET) on TNT. The winner advances to the Eastern Conference Finals, and the loser heads home.

Are fans allowed at the games?

Whereas the 2020 playoffs took place in a Walt Disney World bubble in Orlando, Florida, the NBA has played its 2020-21 season in regular arenas with fans increasingly coming back to stadiums as local COVID-19 restrictions have eased. Fans are allowed at playoff games this year, though the exact number in each venue will vary.
