Miami Heat vs. New York Knicks CashBet Wagering Analysis

This is a very contrasting matchup as the systematic Miami Heat will be taking on the dysfunctional New York Knicks. There is no doubt that the Heat has a lot of advantages over their 90s rival and will use their defense to keep Julius Randle at bay.

Heat Looking to Break Away in the East

The NBA Eastern Conference looks like a two-team race right now for the top record with the Miami Heat tied up with the Chicago Bulls. Having won their previous encounter puts the Miami Heat with the advantage at the tiebreaker. With a healthier lineup, Miami is looking to make a big run heading to the end of the season. Jimmy Butler has been the team’s heat and soul for the past years and he is getting the much-needed help. The culture is set and with Kyle Lowry getting back to form put the Heat on a springboard to get a head start over other teams in the East.

Knicks are on the Verge of Hopelessness

The New York Knicks are just dysfunctional, to say the least, and management tried to salvage whatever they can in the terrible situation. They are now far from making the play-in tournament and may look to shut things down and find some key pieces in the NBA draft lottery and free agency. There are feelers that the Knicks may look to make a huge swing to get Zion Williamson from the New Orleans Pelicans but it will take some time. For now, the fire inside the house keeps on burning and it will last until the end of the season. Not many positives for the Knicks right now and they just look forward to moving pieces very soon.

Miami Heat vs. New York Knicks Head-to-Head with Spread

With winning seems to be the least priority for the New York Knicks, a blowout victory on the road by the Miami Heat seems inevitable. The spread in NBA betting lines should be covered and the Knicks at home will be bludgeoned.
