5 Reasons to Watch Knicks vs. Heat on May 6, 2023

The NBA Playoffs are some of the most exciting games all season regardless of sport. Every game matters more than the last as teams face elimination. With the stakes raised, the action will be non-stop to the final buzzer. Here are five top storylines we follow headed into Week 3.

  1. The winner will likely take the series. According to research by NBA.com, teams winning Game 3 out of a 1-1 series record win the series more than 70% of the time.
  2. Injuries will present opportunities. Both teams will enter the game battling the injury bug. The Miami Heat have declared forward Jimmy Butler as a game-time decision as he deals with an ankle. The Heat will also be without guard Victor Oladipo for the remainder of the season with a knee injury and are unlikely to have Tyler Herro back on the court before early June. New York media is reporting that star point guard Jalen Brunson will be a game-time decision with an ankle injury.
  3. Can the Knicks end the Cinderella postseason for Miami? When the Heat defeated the Milwaukee Bucks in overtime to win the quarterfinals, they became just the sixth team in NBA history and the third since adopting the seven-game format to beat the No.1 seed as the No.8 seed. The Knicks entered the playoffs as the No.5 seed and defeated a favored Cleveland Cavaliers team that will need t own magic to make a deeper run.
  4. This could be the closest-scoring game of the series. Odds-makers are giving Miami just a 3.5-point favor heading into Game 3, and this game will likely go down to the wire.
  5. Tom Thibodeau vs Erik Spoelstra. The head coaches of each team are masters at making adjustments. New York’s Thibodeau has coached in 68 playoff games in his 11-year career, but Spoelstra has 101 wins in 168 appearances. Hardcore hoops fans will have fun enjoying the chess match.

Our prediction: We like the Heat to pull away late to take a commanding 2-1 series lead.
