New York Knicks @ Miami Heat – 3:30PM ET

Tony Battalio

The New York Knicks bounced back in a big way in game number two of the series to even the series up at one victory a piece heading into game three on Saturday night. Now they will be looking to pick up a victory on the road in Miami to take a two games to one advantage and gain control of this second round series in the Eastern conference. Jalen Brunson looked solid as he was 10 of 19 from the field and put up 30 points for the New York Knicks in game number two. Now he will be looking to replicate that performance and lead New York to a second consecutive victory over Miami. 

The Miami Heat will be looking to rebound from their game number two loss in New York City and pick up a victory in game number three on their own home floor here on Saturday evening. Miami is already shown. They are very capable of being this New York Knicks team despite the injuries that are piling up for them. Now they will have HomeCourt advantage for the next two games and they will be looking to win one if not both of them to take a commanding lead back to New York City for game number five. However, I don’t see that happening in this one as I think the Knicks get the victory in game three of the series here on Saturday.

Golden State Warriors @ Los Angeles Lakers – 8:30PM ET

Tony Battalio

The Golden State Warriors looked absolutely dominant in their victory in game number two of the series. Now they will head to Los Angeles for game three and four with an opportunity to get some more wins over the Los Angeles Lakers. Although it took them until the playoffs, they finally managed to get a massive road victory during game seven of their first round series against Sacramento, and they will be looking to use the momentum from that game here in this one to get another huge victory on the road in Los Angeles. If they play as well as they didn’t game number two I can’t see the Lakers picking up a victory over the Warriors in this game.

Los Angeles will be looking to bounce back after their blowout loss to Golden State during game number two in San Francisco earlier in the week. Now they will have HomeCourt advantage for this one and if LeBron James can start out this game, the way he started out game number to the Los. Angeles has a legitimate shot to pick up the victory over Golden State here in game three on Saturday evening. They will have to continue to play the best basketball of the season, and remain healthy if they want to win the series and advance to the Western Conference finals. I expect Los Angeles to get the victory in this one as Golden State has had trouble winning on the road this season.
