76ers Playoff Watch: Knicks vs. Heat Game 1 Odds & Prediction

The New York Knicks are set to face the Miami Heat for Game 1 of the second-round on Sunday.

The New York Knicks and the Miami Heat will do the honors of firing up the second round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs before the Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics battle it out on Monday night. 

On Sunday, the Knicks and the Heat will meet for the first time after they defeated their competition in round one.

After cracking the playoffs through the NBA Play-In Tournament, the Heat faced the Milwaukee Bucks in round one. Despite being the last seed in the East to make the playoffs, the Heat pulled off the biggest upset of the postseason by knocking out Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks.

Meanwhile, the Knicks took care of business against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Although both teams had a lack of playoff experience going into the first-round series, the Knicks continued finding success over the Cavaliers in the playoffs and fired off wins in four of five games.

New York will try and find out if they can continue finding success in the second round against the Heat. During the regular season, the Knicks and the Heat battled it out four times. Three of the four games resulted in wins for New York.

On Sunday, the Knicks will host the Heat for a 1:00 PM tip-off to begin the second round.
