The New York Knicks will travel to Kaseya Center to face the Miami Heat in game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals (7:30 p.m. ET, TNT). Miami has all the confidence in the world right after blowing out the Knicks in game 3 105-86. Now, they are looking to continue their success at home and win this game to take a 3-1 series. This is a huge game for Miami because with a win in this one they can put a strangle hold on the Knicks in this series. Meanwhile, the Knicks need a big bounce after game 3. New York needs to focus on this game and tie up the series 2-2 heading back to New York.
New York Knicks Basketball
The Knicks need a win at home in this game. They cannot afford to go down in this series 3-1. New York is looking to tie this series 2-2 and go back to New York with confidence and momentum. If they want to win this game they have to shake off last games blowout loss. The Kaseya Center is not an easy place to win a game at. The Knicks need this one or they are in serious trouble to be eliminated from the playoffs.
The Knicks have been led by Jalen Brunson, who leads the team in points and assists. Brunson is averaging 24.4 points and 5.1 assists a game this postseason. Big man Julius Randle has helped Brunson in the playoffs averaging 15.3 points and 8.3 rebounds a game this postseason. RJ Barrett has also stepped up this postseason playing his best basketball averaging 18.9 points a game. Josh Hart has been a great addition to the team as this postseason he is averaging 12.1 points and 8.8 rebounds.
In their loss against the Heat in game 3, Brunson tried his best finishing with 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists. Hart had a great game finishing with 15 points and 12 rebounds. Randle struggled in this game finishing with only 10 points. He shot 4-15 from the floor and 0-5 from the three-point line. New York’s bench is not helping their starters offensively at all in this series, which has been a problem. In game 4 New York needs Randle and Barrett to step up more and help Brunson. Plus they need quality minutes from their bench. In the loss, the Knick shot 34.1% from the floor and 20.0% from the three-point line.

Knicks vs. Heat Prop Prediction
I love this prop so much for game 1. Josh Hart has been exceptional for the Knicks in this postseason. He has helped the Knicks so much offensively, when Randle or Brunson haven’t had good games. I think 10.5 points is way too low for Josh Hart in this one. The Knicks need this game desperately and they know it. Everyone on their roster will be on their best performance to make sure Miami doesn;t go up 3-1 in this series. I expect a good game offensively for Hart where he drops 11+ points.
Knicks vs. Heat Prop Pick: Josh Hart Over 10.5 points (-129).
