While Knicks have listed both Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle questionable for Game 2 with ankle injuries it’s probably worth noting Randle is listed with an ankle sprain while Brunson has soreness. Jimmy Butler is questionable with a right ankle sprain. – 6:50 PM

The Heat are now preparing for at least four different scenarios: With and without Jimmy Butler, and with or without Julius Randle.
“He’s irreplaceable,” Kyle Lowry said of Butler.
