Heat vs. Knicks Predictions
The Heat were controlling things while jumping out to a 3-1 series lead. The only contest they lost was Game 2 at New York without superstar Jimmy Butler.
However, the Knicks turned things around in Game 5, fending off elimination with a 112-103 home win. Jalen Brunson was huge in that game with 38 points, 7 assists, and 9 rebounds. The Knicks will likely need another Herculean effort from him to force Game 7.

The Knicks enjoyed elite production from Brunson, Julius Randle, and RJ Barrett last time out, but it’s hard to believe that will happen again on the road. New York had a tough time in Miami in Game 3 and 4, losing by 19 and 8 points respectively.
Look for Miami to get back to controlling this series and close it out with a win and cover on Friday.
