The current betting odds have the Knicks listed as a 2.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Knicks have looked really good in their games this season with their 44-30 record overall which has them right near the top of the East and in a playoff spot right now. They have looked good in their road games too with their 20-16 road record. The Knicks were going through a bit of a rough patch but they have looked a lot better in their games lately as they have been getting healthier now. Meanwhile, the Heat have also looked good in their games this season with their 41-33 record overall, but that record only has them in a play-in spot for the playoffs in the East right now. They are just a half game out of a true playoff spot in the East but they have also been really up and down lately as they have been up and down in the standings, in and out of the playoff spots. They haven't looked bad on their home court this season too but they haven't been great in those games with their 19-17 home record. They have looked a lot better lately with their 7-3 record in their last 10 games and they do have some momentum on their side with 2 wins in a row now, but both of those wins also came against 2 really bad teams in the NBA. The Knicks are only 6-4 in their last 10 games as they haven't been as hot lately, and they also have 2 losses in a row now, but they have looked a lot better in their games lately as they have been getting healthier and they will be looking to bounce back here after a bad loss to the Spurs, one of the worst teams in the NBA, followed by a tough loss against the Thunder, one of the best teams in the NBA. The best way to place a bet here is on the Knicks to cover the spread in this game.
