Knicks vs Heat prediction
The Knicks and the free bucket is worth a look when you consider they’ve won 3 of the last 4 games against the Heat. The Knicks have also been the more consistent team this season overall. With that said, the Heat are getting healthier with the return of Robinson, Jovic and Martin. The Heat are also fighting to stay out of the play-in tournament, and this is the time of year Miami usually turns it on. Massive game for both the Heat and Knicks, but with home court and guys returning from injury, I’ll lay the bucket with Miami.
