How does NBA 2nd round playoff schedule look for Miami Heat vs New York Knicks? Date, time, and more

The NBA 2nd round playoff schedule has been released after a pair of teams wrapped up their series. It was a pair of upsets as the New York Knicks took down the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Miami Heat stunned the Milwaukee Bucks.

In a shocking turn of events, the fifth seed Knicks will host a playoff series in the second round. The NBA 2nd round playoff schedule was released shortly after this series wrapped up.

The Knicks and Heat will begin the Eastern Conference semifinals this Sunday, April 30, at 1 pm in Madison Square Garden. Game 2 is then scheduled two days after. Following Game 2 on Tuesday, May 2, both teams will have three full days of rest for travel before squaring off in Game 3. From there, they'll play almost every other day until a winner is decided.

As far as this matchup goes, the New York Knicks have a slight advantage. Not only do they have home court, but they dominated the Miami Heat in the regular season. Of their four matchups, the Knicks came away winners in three of them.

This series shouldn't disappoint, as Jimmy Butler and Jalen Brunson have two of the most must-see players in the playoffs this year.

The NBA 2nd round playoff schedule is not fully complete

The dates for the NBA 2nd round playoff schedule have come out, but some information is still missing. Right now, the league has not decided on start times for games 2-7 or what network they'll be televised on.

Part of why the full breakdown hasn't come out is because the NBA is still waiting for the other second-round series to be ready in the East. The Philadelphia 76ers swept the Brooklyn Nets, but the one series is ongoing. Thanks to a late three from Trae Young, the Atlanta Hawks have managed to push the Boston Celtics to six games.

Once a winner has been decided between the Hawks and Celtics, more information regarding the Heat-Knicks series should come out. Given that they are two East Coast teams, their games will likely be the first on the docket the nights they play.
