The New York Knicks have a record of 5-3 after losing two or more games in a row. They have managed to defeat the Miami Heat in their two meetings, even though they were eliminated by the Heat in the playoffs last year. The line for this game seems high, especially considering that the Knicks have a point differential of +4.7, while the Heat's point differential is +1.4 this season. Furthermore, the Heat will play with a roster suffering from injuries and have a big revenge game against Philadelphia on deck. I will gladly bet on the Knicks as the road underdogs in this spot!

The Knicks picked up their scoring pace on their road trip and have hit 113+ four straight games and I project them over 110 in this one against a Heat team that hasn't performed to its normal defensive standard. Miami has sufficient long-range shooters to attack New York's biggest defensive deficiency on the perimeter and Miami needs to continue to try to light it, well aware of their tendency to blow things in the fourth quarter.
