Table of Contents

A new week brings a slate of new games and today there's 10 of them to choose from. I'll be looking at the Miami Heat vs New York Knicks. New York is sitting in 3rd place in the Eastern Conference while the Heat have dropped to 9th place. Let's break down our Heat vs Knicks predictions, picks, and best bets using insights from Rithmm's AI-powered betting models.

Preview of Heat vs Knicks Prediction

The Heat have lost 8 of their last 10 including seven games in a row while the Knicks are 5 - 5 over their last 10 and have won 2 of their last 3 games.

The Knicks are averaging 109.2 points over their last 10 games while shooting 45.4% from the field and their defense has allowed 109.4 points per game. Conversely, the Heat are averaging 105.1 points per game and shooting 46.8% from the field while their defense is allowing 111.0 points per game.

Until their loss to Memphis on Saturday, the Heat had kept most of their seven losses close and Miami will need to secure a win to keep pace with the field if they have any hopes of making the playoffs.

Who is Favored to Win Heat vs Knicks?

The Knicks come into this game as the home favorites with Rithmm's AI model projecting them to score 110.5 points while the Miami Heat are only expected to score 103.7 points. The Knicks are laying -7.5 points on the spread but the Rithmm AI model is predicting the Heat to cover that +7.5 tonight.
