The New York Knicks are on a roll. After knocking out the Atlanta Hawks in the opening round of the NBA playoffs, the Knicks are looking to keep things going heading into tonight’s Game 2 on May 6th. It won’t be easy, especially given that there is a reason the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Boston Celtics in their playoff matchup. Despite their huge Game 1 victory, the Knicks cannot rest on their laurels and expect to walk away from the series unscathed.
Should they be victorious, they will face the winner of the Detroit Pistons vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers series. The Los Angeles Lakers could sure use Luka Doncic to give their offense a boost, even if some question his decision-making on his recovery.
Here are the streaming and cable details you need to know to watch Game 2, along with significant statistics for both teams, and the potential starting lineup.
