The Knicks had an anemic offense in Game 3’s 105-86 loss to Miami. That scoring output was the Knicks’ second-fewest this season and their lowest since early November. There were a ton of wasted shots from Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson, as they combined for inst 30 points on 35 shots from the field. That being said, the Knicks are not going to put a cap on those two stars’ shot attempts.
They will continue to roll with Randle and Brunson leading the charge on offense and hope that the click in Game 4. “Hopefully we can get back on the right track and find a way to make some shots next game and come out with a win,” the former Kentucky Wildcats star said after the Knicks’ Game 3 loss. Despite their poor offensive performance on Saturday, the Knicks still have a better field goal percentage (42.1 FG%) than the Heat (41.9 FG%)in this series, thus far.
Betting on the Miami Heat
- Regular Season Record: 44-38
The Heat are just so stubborn. It’s incredible how they have been playing at a generally high level in the postseason. Miami is still playing without one of their top guns in Tyler Herro and Jimmy Butler had already missed a game in this series, but the Heat managed top win twice through three outings in the second round.
This is simply a team that knows nothing about quitting and backing down. The Heat are taking the fight to the Knicks and so far having success with that mind if mentality. Butler returnd from his absence in Game 2 and showed the way for the Heat with 28 points, while Max Strus and Bam Adebayo had 19 and 17 points, respectively. The Heat outscored New York in the paint, 50-36, which is another great sign that Miami is making the Knicks feel the pressure.
JefeBet Prediction
The Knicks are going to respond with better offense in Game 4. Although Miami has proven to be a tough team to shrug off, the Knicks will play with an elevated sense of urgency this Monday. Taking the Knicks to win Game 4.
Prediction: The Knicks win, 107-100.
