New York Knicks vs Miami Heat Prediction NBA Picks 10/30/24

The Miami Heat play host to the New York Knicks at the Kaseya Center on Wednesday night. Here’s a New York Knicks vs Miami Heat Prediction. This article will include a New York Knicks vs Miami Heat Pick.

New York Knicks 

The New York Knicks have lost two of their first three games and they will be eager to bounce back after getting stopped by the Cavaliers in a 110-104 loss on Monday. Jalen Brunson led the team with 21 points and seven assists, Mikal Bridges added 19 points on nine of 15 shooting, Josh Hart added 16 points with 13 rebounds, while OG Anunoby chipped in with 15 points. As a team, the Knicks shot 44 percent from the field and nine of 28 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in control when they poured in 34 points in the second quarter to take the lead into halftime, but despite a 13-point lead, they still couldn’t hold off the Cavaliers who poured in 36 points in the fourth quarter to snatch the game from them. 

Miami Heat 

Meanwhile, the Miami Heat have been building nicely as they are now aiming for a third straight victory after beating the Pistons in a 106-98 win on Monday. Jimmy Butler led the team with 23 points, seven assists, and four steals, Terry Rozier added 20 points while Terry Herro chipped in with 19 points and six assists. As a team, the Heat shot just 43 percent from the field and 15 of 47 from the 3-point line they looked to be in a bit of trouble when they wasted a 13-point lead in the third quarter where they scored just 14 points, but they clamped down defensively and pulled away in the fourth quarter to get the gritty win at home. 

Why the Miami Heat will win

• The home team has won each of the last eight games between the Knicks and Heat.
• The Knicks have lost 12 of their last 13 games at Kaseya Center following a loss.
• The Heat have covered the spread in five of their last six night games against Eastern Conference opponents that held a losing record.
• The Knicks have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five games at Kaseya Center.

New York Knicks vs Miami Heat Prediction

The Knicks are still without Precious Achiuwa, and they are keeping an eye on Josh Hart who is questionable, while the Heat are still missing Kevin Love due to personal reasons. The Knicks have been playing better than their record suggests and they were more than competitive in their narrow loss to the red-hot Cavaliers on Monday, so I’m not shocked that they are favorites here. The Heat have been in decent form, and they are mostly at full health, so I really like them as underdogs at home in this spot.
