Posted: Updated:
CHICAGO (Associated Press) -

Though their opponents are still to be determined Chicago, Miami, and Oklahoma City will open the NBA playoffs Saturday.

Indiana also will host Orlando in its postseason opener Saturday, one of the few match-ups that is set entering Thursday's final day of play.

The Bulls are the top seed in the Eastern Conference and will play game 1 of the playoffs Saturday at the United Center against either the Knicks or the Sixers. Time is still to be determined but will be known after Thursday's Sixers and Knicks games.

No. 2 Miami will face whichever of those teams finishes higher in the standings, with the Knicks holding the tiebreaker if they finish with the same record.

The Thunder, No. 2 in the West, will meet either NBA champion Dallas or Denver in the first round.

On Sunday, West top seed San Antonio opens against Utah.
