Philadelphia 76ers at New York Knicks — Game 2 (NY leads series 1-0)

🏀 New York Knicks

The Knicks made a statement in Game 1, and Philadelphia should be sharper after that ugly opener. I still like New York at Madison Square Garden to handle a tighter Game 2 and keep control of the series.

Minnesota Timberwolves at San Antonio Spurs — Game 2 (MIN leads series 1-0)

🏀 San Antonio Spurs

Minnesota stole Game 1 in San Antonio with Anthony Edwards returning off the bench, but I expect the Spurs to answer with a much sharper Game 2. San Antonio still has a strong setup at home to even the series.
