MIAMI HEAT @ NY KNICKS, 7:30 PM EST , 3-17-25
The Miami Heat and New York Knicks square off at Madison Square Garden on Monday night in what should be an intriguing Eastern Conference battle. Below, we’ll break down our Miami Heat vs. New York Knicks prediction and provide a betting pick for this matchup.
Miami Heat Betting Preview
The Heat are in the midst of a brutal stretch, dropping eight of their last nine games, including a seven-game losing skid. Their most recent outing was a 125-91 blowout loss to the Grizzlies on Saturday, where they struggled on both ends of the floor.
Kel’el Ware led Miami with 19 points and 11 rebounds, while Bam Adebayo contributed 18 points and six boards. Kyle Anderson and Jaime Jacquez Jr. added 13 points each, but offensive production was scarce beyond that. The Heat shot just 39% from the field and a dismal 9-of-37 from beyond the arc, digging themselves into a 15-point halftime hole. Things spiraled further in the second half as Memphis pulled away for a dominant victory.
Tyler Herro had a rough night, scoring only eight points on 3-of-12 shooting, while Duncan Robinson failed to register a single point. With key injuries continuing to plague the roster, Miami enters this contest desperate to break its slump.
New York Knicks Betting Preview
The Knicks have also hit a rough patch, losing four of their last six games. However, they put up a strong fight against the surging Warriors on Saturday, ultimately falling short in a 97-94 road defeat.
Karl-Anthony Towns was the standout performer, posting 29 points, 12 rebounds, and three assists. OG Anunoby contributed 23 points, nine rebounds, and three steals, while Mikal Bridges and Miles McBride chipped in 19 points apiece. Despite a tough shooting night (43% from the field and 9-of-24 from three), New York erased a nine-point fourth-quarter deficit before Golden State used a decisive 8-1 run to close out the game.
Injury concerns remain an issue for the Knicks, as Jalen Brunson has been ruled out again due to his ankle sprain. However, they have continued to compete at a high level even in his absence.
Game Outlook & Prediction
The Heat’s struggles have been glaring, and their confidence took another hit after a lopsided loss to Memphis. They remain shorthanded, with Alec Burks sidelined and Andrew Wiggins questionable. Meanwhile, the Knicks have adjusted better despite missing Brunson, proving their resilience in a tough loss to the Warriors.
Miami could pull off a surprise, but the odds are stacked against them. New York has been the more consistent team, is playing at home, and holds a significant advantage in form and health. Expect the Knicks to take care of business and cover the spread.
Why the New York Knicks Will Win
New York has won its last nine games against teams with a losing record.
Miami is on a seven-game losing streak.
The Heat have failed to cover the spread in their last five outings.
• The Knicks have covered the spread in six of their last eight games as favorites following a loss.
