The Miami Heat made easy work of the Atlanta Hawks in Game 1 of their first-round series matchup on Sunday, 115-91. It looks like the Heat could come into Game 2 shorthanded, though, with no less than six players showing up on their injury report.
Bam Adebayo is the most prominent name on the list after the All-Star big man was hit with a questionable tag heading into Tuesday's Game 2 matchup (h/t Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel):
The good news here is that the injury appears to be minor for Adebayo and it does sound like he's going to play through it. PJ Tucker is also questionable for the Heat, but given how this is the playoffs, it also isn't likely that he's going to miss Tuesday's bout.
The Hawks are pretty banged up too, with Clint Capela already being ruled out for Game 2. John Collins recently returned for Atlanta but he clearly isn't a hundred percent just yet. The Hawks are already the underdogs in this series and their injuries have put them at a further disadvantage. Another loss in Game 2 would put the Heat in a great position to advance in this series.
