The Miami Heat will open the NBA Playoffs at home against the Atlanta Hawks for Game 1. The game will be televised on TNT at 1:00 on Easter Sunday.
Miami has not played for a week as they have waited for the East play-in games to conclude. That finished on Friday night when the Hawks had a comeback win in Cleveland against the Cavaliers. Atlanta, 39 hours later begins their series against the Heat.
In that game, the Hawks lost Clint Capella to a hyper extended knee and he is expected to miss at least a week before being re-evaluated.
