NBA Games on TV – Wednesday, May 6, 2026 (ET)
The 2026 NBA Playoffs continue with Game 2 action in both conferences. After dramatic Game 1 results, teams look to either build momentum or avoid falling into early series deficits.
🏀 Game of the Day: Minnesota Timberwolves vs. San Antonio Spurs (Game 2)
9:30 PM ET | ESPN
Minnesota stunned San Antonio in Game 1 with a narrow 104-102 road win, stealing home-court advantage despite Anthony Edwards playing through injury. His efficient 18-point performance proved decisive in a tightly contested game.
The Spurs now face a critical Game 2 at home, needing a response to avoid falling into a 2-0 series hole. Historically dominant at home, San Antonio will be better prepared for Minnesota’s adjustments and Edwards’ presence.
This matchup has consistently produced close games, with neither team able to create separation over extended stretches. Expect another physical, half-court battle.
Why It’s the Game of the Day: A potential 2-0 swing makes this a pivotal early-series matchup with major implications.
Prediction: San Antonio responds at home and evens the series 1-1 in a close contest.
Philadelphia 76ers vs. New York Knicks (Game 2)
7:00 PM ET | ESPN
The Knicks dominated Game 1 with a 137-98 blowout, continuing an incredible run of postseason form. New York has now strung together multiple dominant victories, overwhelming opponents with pace, scoring, and defensive pressure.
Philadelphia looks to bounce back and split the series on the road. The 76ers have shown resilience in similar situations this season, but face a Knicks team that has been nearly unstoppable at Madison Square Garden.
Prediction: New York maintains momentum and takes a 2-0 series lead with another strong performance.
Wednesday’s slate is all about adjustments. With one team in each series already holding the advantage, Game 2 will shape the trajectory of both semifinal matchups.
