76ers Playoff Watch: Heat vs. Knicks Game 2 Odds & Prediction

The Philadelphia 76ers started their Eastern Conference Semifinals series against the Boston Celtics off with a bang. Despite missing their All-Star center Joel Embiid, the Sixers relied on their ten-time All-Star guard James Harden, who was dialed in offensively.

With a 45-point outing from Harden, the Sixers squeezed out a tough four-point victory on the road in Boston to take a 1-0 lead. On Tuesday, the other two Eastern Conference contenders will battle it out.

The Miami Heat are set to visit the New York Knicks on Tuesday night. When the two teams met on Sunday afternoon for their Game 1 matchup, the Knicks were off to a quicker start, in control of the matchup for the first half.

It wouldn’t be long before Miami’s Jimmy Butler tapped into the best version of himself, though. In 43 minutes of action, Butler produced 25 points, which helped the Heat form a second-half comeback. With a strong fourth-quarter showing, the Heat defeated the Knicks 108-101 to take a 1-0 lead in the series.

Both teams face key injury questions heading into Game 2. For Miami, Butler was questionable heading into the game. For New York, the veteran forward Julius Randle was questionable as well after missing the first outing of the series.
