Miami Heat Team News
In the first round, the Miami Heat easily eliminated the best team from the East, the Milwaukee Bucks, and already in the first match of the series against the New York Knicks, they broke through and won. However, Miami has major injury problems. Herro and Oladipo were injured already in the first game against the Milwaukee Bucks, while Butler was injured in the last quarter of the game and could not help his team in the second match. He is questionable for this match.
Butler is having an unreal playoff game and was sorely missed by the Miami team in the second match. Excellent match number two was played by Caleb Martin and Gabe Vincent, who scored 22 points and 21 points respectively. Despite injuries and a short rotation, Miami was close to victory in the second match as well.
The biggest quality of the Miami team compared to the New York Knicks is the definite experience. Although injuries are affecting both teams a lot, we think that Miami has more quality to win this match.
New York Knicks Team News
The New York team played the first match of this series significantly weakened, because one of the team’s best players during the season, Julius Randle, was absent, having a problem with his ankle throughout the playoffs. Randle was a key player in match number two, played an all-around game, scored 25 points, and added 12 rebounds and 8 assists. Brunson was the most efficient with 30 points, while Josh Hart was one assist short of a triple-double.
According to many, the Knicks unexpectedly easily defeated and knocked out the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs. In the end, it was 4-1 for the Knicks. The Knicks with Tom Thibodeau on the bench are one of the best defensive teams in the league. They showed that in this playoff, where they limited the Cavaliers to under 100 points per game in four games.
The Knicks will look for the return of the break, but a lot will depend on how Jimmy Butler will be.
