The second round schedule is here.

The Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers will embark on a best of seven series this weekend, as action tips off Sunday afternoon. Below you will find the schedule for the seven-game Eastern Conference Semifinals (if necessary) and the proceedings will begin with Game 1 on Sunday at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

After beating the New York Knicks four games to one, the Hawks will look to continue their playoff success against a tougher opponent. With the status of superstar center Joel Embiid up in the air (meniscus tear), things could potentially be trending in Atlanta’s direction again for the second round.

Here is the full breakdown:

• Game 1 - Sunday, June 6 - Atlanta at Philadelphia - 1 pm ET - ABC
• Game 2 - Tuesday, June 8 - Atlanta at Philadelphia - 7:30 pm ET - TNT
