Following an entertaining slate on Tuesday night, the Philadelphia 76ers still don’t have clarity on their second-round opponent after the Atlanta Hawks forced a Game 6 against the Boston Celtics.

Therefore, Wednesday night will be another opportunity for the Sixers to sit back and watch the other Eastern Conference opponents battle it out. First up, the Cleveland Cavaliers hosted the New York Knicks on Wednesday.

Next, the Milwaukee Bucks and the Miami Heat will go toe-to-toe in an elimination matchup. Surprisingly, the Miami Heat have a 3-1 lead over the top-seeded Bucks. Not only did the Heat begin the playoffs by winning Game 1, but they took Games 3 and 4 as well.

The battle between the Heat and the Bucks on Monday night was nothing short of entertaining, as Jimmy Butler exploded for over 50 points. By putting the Heat on his back, Butler led Miami to victory, going up 3-1 in the series.

On Wednesday night, the Bucks will look to avoid elimination by forcing a Game 6 later this week.
