76ers Playoff Watch: Knicks vs. Heat Game 6 Odds & Prediction

While the week started off great for the Philadelphia 76ers, they’ve quickly been humbled as they went from picking up a tough Game 5 win on the road against the Boston Celtics to failing to finish the job at home in South Philly during Game 6 on Thursday night.

The Sixers and the Celtics will have to battle it out for Game 7 this weekend. And on Friday, we’ll find out if the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks will have to do the same.

Earlier this week, the Heat visited the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. At the time, New York’s backs were against the wall as the Heat possessed a 3-1 lead in the series.

While Miami nearly ended the series as early as Game 5, the Kicks fought back and prevented elimination as early as Wednesday night.

The Knicks still trail 2-3 in the series, but they’ll get another opportunity to force an additional game when they take on the Heat in South Beach on Friday night.

If the Knicks can pull off a second-straight win on Friday, the series will head back to New York for a Game 7 on Monday. If the Knicks fail to take care of business on the road, then the Miami Heat will be Eastern Conference Finals bound for the second-straight season. Except for this time around, the Heat will do it as an eighth seed.
