Heat vs. Knicks
The Miami Heat will travel to Madison Square Garden to face the New York Knicks in a Eastern Conference matchup (7:30 p.m. ET). The Heat need a bounce back win after the Brooklyn Nets snapped their two-game winning streak on Saturday night beating Miami 129-100. The Heat will look to get right in primetime when they travel to New York. Meanwhile, the Knicks got a much needed win against the Houston Rockets 137-115. This win snapped their three-game losing streak that they were on. Look for the Knicks to start picking it up now that they are back at home.
Miami Heat Basketball
With a 40-35 record on the season and a 21-25 record in conference play, the Heat are in seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings. Miami has been shaky recently with a 6-4 record in their last ten games. Miami is currently in the Playoff play-in game as they are tied neck and neck with the Brooklyn Nets. However though the Heat have struggled on the road this year as they are 15-21 as the away team. Look to see if Miami can fix their issues on the road in this one and move up to sixth place in the Eastern Conference.
The Heat have a bunch of talent on their team that have been balling out this year. Miami has been led by Jimmy Butler this season as he leads the team in points and assists. This season Butler is averaging 22.8 points and 5.1 assists a game. Big man Bam Adebayo has helped Butler out averaging 20.9 points and 9.3 rebounds a game this season. Last years sixth man of the year Tyler Herro has really stepped up this season averaging 20.3 points a game.
In their loss against Nets at home, Herro and Max Strus both led the way for the Heat combining for 46 points. Each of them scored 23 points. Butler did his thing finishing with 18 points and 5 assists. Adebayo did his thing on the glass finishing with 16 points and 7 rebounds. The Heat just could not stop the guard play of the Nets. In the loss, the Heat shot 47.5% from the floor and 40.0% from the three-point line.
New York Knicks Basketball
With a 43-33 record on the season and a 28-19 record in conference play, the Knicks are currently in fifth place in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks have struggled as of late with a 4-6 record in their last ten games. Lucky for them they can get back on track because they have been great at home as they are 21-17 in Madison Square Garden. Look for them to continue their dominance at home against the Miami Heat.
The Knicks have been led by Julius Randle, who leads the team in points and rebounds. Randle is averaging 25.4 points and 10.0 rebounds a game this season. Jalen Brunson has been helping out Randle this season averaging 23.8 points and 6.2 assists a game this season.

Heat vs. Knicks Prediction
I love RJ Barrett over his point total in this one. No matter how high the number is he will get over it. In the three games the Knicks and the Heat have played each other in this season Barret has scored 30, 17, and 26 points in those games. He plays well against the Heat everytime. I love his point total in this one.
