Command Analysis
New York Knicks
USACurrent form
The Knicks have secured third place in the Eastern Conference, which indicates a successful season. Tom Thibodeau has finally built his dream team, and it's clear that the head coach is enjoying the process right now.
After two consecutive wins, New York lost in the last match to Golden State (94:97). The game was on an equal footing, but Stephen Curry and the company did not give up in the end. Of course, the New Yorkers will draw conclusions after the defeat and will start the next match with renewed vigor, because the meeting with Miami is ahead.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jalen Brunson and Ariel Hookport will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
- In 4 of the last 5 head-to-head matches, the Knicks celebrated the victory.
- New York is fifth in the Eastern Conference in home wins.
Approximate line-up: Anunobi - Hart, Towns - McBride, Bridges.
Miami Heat
USACurrent form
The hits keep coming. The team has already dropped to ninth place in the Eastern Conference and cannot break the losing streak in any way. It is noticeable that after Jimmy Butler's departure, there is a lack of a pronounced leader on the court.
In the previous match, Erik Spoelstra's team was defeated by Memphis (91:125). Let's remind that this is the seventh defeat in a row. The team doesn't look like itself at all, and there's also an away match against New York ahead, so the trials don't end.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nikola Jovic and Drew Smith will not play on the floor due to health problems.
Interesting facts for betting
- A hit cannot win for seven matches.
- The Flames have lost their last four away games.
Provisional squad: Adebayo - Wiggins, Weir - Hirro, Robinson.

1.84Tip and bets
New York is more motivated than ever after the disappointing loss to Golden State. Tom Thibodeau's guys are well aware that the competition is sky-high, so you need to make the most of your chances, especially since the next match will be at home against an unstable opponent.
Miami is going through a protracted crisis of seven matches. The head coach is trying to change the situation for the better, but so far nothing is working. It is unlikely that the Heat will be able to beat one of the leaders of the East, especially on the road.
Our betting tip is for New York to win with a handicap of (-6) points in 1.70
Bet on the total
The Knicks often choose defensive tactics, because that's Tom Thibodeau's style. It is unlikely that the hosts will be able to prove themselves in attack, even in the home arena. Miami tried to go all-in, which led to setbacks, so it will most likely bet on the defensive line. We assume that the total will not be broken.
Betting Tip - total less than 214.5 points in 1.76
Betting on statistics
Heath has been having a hard time playing games lately. The team cannot rely on reliable defense, nor on a bright attack. Considering that the next match will be held on the road, there are doubts that Miami will be able to break through the individual total.
Prediction – Miami's individual total is less than 103.5 points per 1.81
