Knicks vs Heat Predictions and Picks
New York is currently fourth in points, tied for 12th in points allowed, and fourth in point differential. Mikal Bridges leads the team in field goal percentage. The Knicks have the edge on the glass and in the paint. Towns will play a crucial role in this game and probably have a big game against the Heat's undersized frontcourt. New York will try to tighten up some of their defense and at least keep the scoring efficient. Also, keep the turnovers light and the 3-pointers made high.
Miami is currently second in points, 26th in points allowed, and 13th in point differential. Powell leads the team in points per game. The Heat lead the league in pace and have been a high-scoring offense that averages 125 points per game. Powell has been playing solidly, and his scoring efficiency has been trending up in the 30s. Like New York, Miami has a high-scoring offense and a middle-tier defense. They have lost two games in a row and even though the offense has been high, the defense hasn't been able to tighten things up in the critical moments. The Heat will try to limit some good scoring runs and try and get revenge from their NBA Cup game loss.
Best Bet: Over
This game should be another high-scoring and tight game. Jalen Brunson being out might hurt the offense a bit, but the Heat have Bam Adebayo out, and that will help Towns do well in the paint and with offensive rebounds and second-chance points. Both teams have been in high-scoring games all season and are similar in a lot of key areas.
