The Knicks have lost Jalen Brunson for about two weeks and it's understandable that his absence can't help but affect the effectiveness of Tom Thibodeau's team, at least on the other team's half court. Brunson is New York's leading scorer, averaging 26.3 points per game.
In the previous game, New York faced Golden State on the road. Brunson was replaced by Myles McBride in the starting lineup, and the Knicks didn't even get to the 100-point mark. The team showed good defense, but it wasn't enough to win - 94:97.
Overall, the Knicks have a 40-24 win balance right now. The New York team is in third place in the Eastern Conference and even in the case of a series of defeats this line will not let go. The Knicks are currently 4.0 wins away from fourth place.
Miami Heat
While New York will almost certainly make the playoffs directly, the Heat are unlikely to make it to the top-6. Right now, the team sits in ninth place in the East. The balance of wins is 29-38. The gap from the playoff zone is 7.5 wins.
In the last match Miami was defeated on the road by Memphis - 91:125. In total, the Heat have already suffered seven straight defeats. During this stretch, the Floridians lost not only to the contenders - Boston (91:103), Cleveland (107:112), Minnesota (104:106), Los Angeles Clippers (104:119), but also failed to cope with the outsiders - Charlotte (102:105) and Chicago (109:114).

New York this season managed to beat Miami twice.
Expert Betting Tips
In the upcoming game we will bet on the total over points scored. Even in the absence of Brunson, the Knicks have a resource to show themselves in the attack, like the Heat, given, for example, the presence of Tyler Hirro. We also believe that Miami is overdue for a win. The bad series of Erik Spoelstra's team has clearly dragged on, and the Knicks are clearly tired by the end of the championship.
