NBA playoffs 2022: Complete first-round matchups, schedules and news

The NBA postseason is here, and it's shaping up to be a wide-open chase to the 2022 title.

The Phoenix Suns ran away with the league's best regular-season record -- eight games clear of the second-best Memphis Grizzlies. Devin Booker, Chris Paul and the reigning Western Conference champs are on a mission to redeem themselves after last season's six-game Finals defeat to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Plenty of West contenders stand in the Suns' way, including Ja Morant and the Grizzlies, MVP favorite Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets and the Golden State Warriors, who are back in the playoffs for the first time since reaching the Finals in 2019.
