Miami Heat vs NY Knicks 06.05.2023

Miami Heat have continued dumbfounding pundits with their post-season exploits. Not only did they become the first-ever 8th seed to upset the number 1 seed in 5 games, but they also proceeded to steal homecourt in the semifinal of the Eastern Conference after winning game 1 against the New York Knicks. They looked set to take a 2-0 lead but fizzled out in crunch time as the Knicks stormed back to even the series. They will be happy with that outcome as the series shifts to the South Coast. Coach Spoelstra is sweating on the fitness of their superstar Jimmy Butler who missed game 2 after twisting his ankle late in the game 1 victory.

The New York Knicks also did well to knock out Cleveland in round 1. They have however looked a little bit out of depth against this solid Miami team. They were on the verge of falling into a 2-0 hole but rallied to win game 2. They will now be hoping to return the favor by stealing at least one of these two games in Miami in order to take back home court. The Knicks got a balanced production from Barret, Brunson, and Julius Randle and will look to replicate that here

For both of these teams, defence has been their calling card, both in the regular season and the playoffs. We expect that to come out in the course of this series as exemplified by the opening two games at the Madison Square Garden. We fancy the trend to hold here particularly in the opening half of the game as both teams try to get to their spots. We are therefore picking Under 108.5 for the 1st half of this game

Tip: 1st Half – Under 108.5 Points
