New York Knicks vs Miami Heat: Current situation
New York returns home following a rather disappointing 5-game West coast road trip where they went 2-3 SU. Not only that, they also lost Jalen Brunson in the first game to an ankle injury from which he has not yet returned. Putting up points without your leading scorer is always going to be a struggle, especially for a Knicks side that’s thin in the bench production area. New York now returns home where they are 21-11 SU this season.
Only the Utah Jazz have a worse active losing streak in the NBA than the Miami Heat right now. Eric Spoelstra’s men have lost 7 games in a row, raising further doubt that this team can even qualify for the postseason. Right now they are in 9th place in the East standings which would pit them against the Chicago Bulls in the play-in tournament. With just 15 games remaining, the Heat have to start winning, otherwise they will compromise their entire season.
New York Knicks Stats & Form
Only 94 points and a 3-point defeat against the Golden State Warriors wrapped up the Knicks’ 5-game road trip. As a team they shot just 9-for-24 from three, while the bench scored a combined 4 points total. Karl-Anthony Towns was the lone bright spot with 29 and 12 rebounds, the Knicks are just trying to survive right now until Jalen Brunson returns from injury.
Miami Heat Stats & Form
With 3 consecutive losses by at least 12 points it’s time to ring the alarm bells if you’re the Miami Heat. They just got destroyed by the Memphis Grizzlies 125-91 on Saturday, shooting under 40% from the field and connecting on just 9 of 37 threes. The effort just isn’t there at the moment, Miami got outrebounded by 14 in the loss, what makes the defeat even worse is the fact that the Grizzlies were without their best player Ja Morant.

Betting tip and prediction: New York Knicks vs Miami Heat (17.03.2025)
Neither side has been able to consistently win games lately, especially the Heat who are in midst of their worst stretch of basketball this season. Bam Adebayo has fallen off track the last 3 games, scoring in single digits twice while taking just 7 shots attempts. He’s also collected single digit rebounds 4 times in his last 5 games, far too little of a player of his magnitude. Meanwhile, the Knicks are looking to rely heavily on Karl-Anthony Towns as they continue life without their leading scorer Brunson. KAT has delivered some really solid performances during the 5-game road trip, but he alone cannot carry this team, especially if the bench production isn’t there. Just 4 points scored off the pine is far too little to compete in today’s NBA, it wouldn’t surprise us if head coach Tom Thibodeau made a few changes in the rotation to boost the bench scoring. These two teams have ranked just 26th and 30th in scoring efficiency over the last 10 games played, so we are looking at the point total bets here. For the Knicks the under has cashed 5 times in the last 6 games, they’ve failed to crack double-digit made threes 4 times in their last 9 games. Miami’s three-ball has been slightly more consistent, but as a team they’re 6-2 on the under in their last 8 games. All signs are pointing to a low scoring game here, so let’s stick with the under.
