Heat at Knicks picks and predictions Prediction
Heat 110, Knicks 106
Moneyline
Following an impressive road win over the Cavaliers, I’m siding with the HEAT (-125) to secure another road victory. Miami has seemingly figured things out recently and New York has been struggling to win games.
Against the spread
HEAT -1.5 (-115) is how I’d bet on the spread in this game as we only need Miami to win by at least 1 basket. The Heat finally has C Bam Adebayo, F Jimmy Butler, G Kyle Lowry, and G Tyler Herro playing together again.
The Heat is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 road meetings against the Knicks and 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings overall.
Over/Under
Even though these teams play at such a slow pace, OVER 213.5 (-115) is the lean here.
The Knicks are 7-0-1 to the Over in their last 8 games against a team with a winning record. The Over is also 6-2 in the last 8 meetings between the Heat and the Knicks.
