Heat vs. Knicks, 7:30 p.m. ET

Pick ATS: Knicks +2

Miami will play its fourth straight game in a different stadium, while New York has a travel advantage after playing at home on Tuesday night. The Heat won four of their last five games and covered the spread in Tuesday's win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, but Miami is 7-19-1 against the number the game after covering. The Knicks covered the spread in jus three of their last 11 games, but this is a good spot for them to play better than oddsmakers suggest.

Over/Under: Under 216

Both teams rank in the bottom 10 in possessions per game, and the Heat scored 100 or fewer points in four of their last six contests.
