Knicks vs. Heat Predictions
The Heat have been amazing in the playoffs from a real-life and betting perspective. Miami has now covered the spread in seven straight contests, but can it get the job done on the road against a desperate Knicks team?
We have rolled with the Heat against the spread in every game this series, and they haven’t let us down. Miami has the upper hand while playing with extreme confidence. Meanwhile, the Knicks are playing flat, especially on offense.
There’s a chance the Madison Square Garden crowd wills the Knicks to a better performance, but that hasn’t been the case in this series. New York won 111-105 in Game 2 but needed a fourth-quarter comeback despite Jimmy Butler not playing for Miami.
The Heat look comfortable with role players like Gabe Vincent, Kevin Love, and Max Strus all doing exactly what Miami needs to support Butler and Bam Adebayo.
Let’s take the Heat +3.5 in this game, and you could even sprinkle some cheddar on the moneyline while anticipating Miami to close out the series.
