The Erie BayHawks’ playoff game against the Lakeland Magic has been postponed until Saturday, the G League announced Monday. The single-elimination first-round playoff game will be played at 3 p.m. at Erie Insurance Arena and be televised by ESPN News.

The game was originally scheduled to be played Tuesday. The G League moved all games scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday to Friday and Saturday.

The BayHawks, the Hawks’ G-League affiliate, claimed the Southeast Division title by beating the Fort Wayne Mad Ants 113-99 on Saturday. They enter the playoffs as the No. 3 seed. Lakeland is the No. 6 seed. The teams, both 28-22, tied for first place in the division with Erie holding the tiebreaker to earn the lower seed.

The winner of the game will advance to face the Mad Ants in a single-elimination second-round game on Tuesday at 7 p.m. The game will be televised by ESPNU.

Two-way contract players Josh Magette and Andrew White are currently with the Hawks.
