Betting on the New York Knicks
- Regular Season Record: 37-27.
The squad led by Tom Thibodeau is one of the sensations of this season. Especially after last Monday’s 109-94 crushing win over the Boston Celtics.
New York’s main weapon is Julius Randle, who has an average of 25.1 point per game. Still, as the games went on, the leading role began to be shared, something that speaks of the team’s outstanding collective work.
The stats are rooting for the visiting team heading into this Knicks vs Heat game, as it is on a six-game winning streak, and it has the second-best record in the East playing on the road (18-12).
Betting on the Miami Heat
- Regular Season Record: 33-30.
Miami’s current situation can be defined in one word: irregular. Of its last 11 meetings, the team has only won four games. The Heat team arrives to this decisive match after a 119-96 loss to the always tough Philadelphia 76ers.
However, at home, the Miami team is showing its true strength. In front of its home crowd, it has won eight of its last 10 games. The most resounding win was against the Philadelphia 76ers by 101-99. The Wells Fargo Center witnessed a remarkable performance by Jimmy Butler, who finished the game with 23 points and 11 rebounds.
It is worth highlighting the superb level of the team’s defense, the second best in the NBA, only behind the Cleveland Cavaliers. Erik Spoelstra’s team is allowing an average of 108.5 points per game.
JefeBet Prediction
While the home team is noticeable because of its defense, the same cannot be said of its offense. This is the worst offense in the NBA, with a record of 108 points per game. In its last five games, the Heat team has scored even fewer points than the number it averages. Those are facts that alarm the team’s fans, who will be present at the Miami Dade Arena in Florida.
Will the New Yorkers be able to replicate their recent performances? Will Miami deliver a big blow on Friday? The truth is that due to the low scoring of the home team and the great moment the New York Knicks are going through, JefeBet predicts a win for the New York Knicks.
Prediction: New York Knicks Moneyline.
