Basketball fans will be able to watch the Heat vs. 76ers live stream online and televised action for this 2018 Nba Playoffs Game 2 on Monday night (April 16). Philadelphia came away with a convincing win in the first game of their series and now fans are ready for more. However, Miami wants to do their best to remain competitive and not suffer a potential sweep. Here are all of the latest details for tonight's game, including the matchup odds, start time, TV channel, and how to watch the Heat vs. 76ers live streaming online.
Game 2 preview
According to ESPN, the Philadelphia 76ers (52-30) enter tonight's game on the hottest winning streak in all of the NBA.
Philly has won 17-straight now and blew out the Heat by 27 points in the first game of this series. The Sixers outscored their opponents 74-43 in the second half to make sure they would come away with a home victory. That postseason win came without Joel Embiid, who could return to the lineup at any point if he's cleared through the concussion protocol. The Miami Heat received a limited contribution from their own big man Hassan Whiteside while reserve player Kelly Olynyk scored 26 points and grabbed seven boards. They'll need a stronger overall effort in Game 2, or they'll be heading home with a 0-2 deficit. For tonight's game, Philadelphia is favored by 6.5 points with the over/under at 216 points.
In Game 1, rookie Ben Simmons nearly achieved a triple-double in the team's series-opening win. He scored 17 points, dished out 14 assists, and had nine rebounds. JJ Redick led all players with 28 points on 8-of-13 shooting and hit four of the six three-point shots he attempted. Dario Saric added 20 points on 8-of-15 shooting for the 76ers.
They'll look to do more of the same in Game 2 as they await the return of Embiid to the court for a strong run in their return to the playoffs.
