The Knicks are playing better and they're the play this evening at home in New York versus the Wade-less Miami Heat.
New York is a much improved ball club, especially at home this season. They are facing a Miami team that is just not the same without Dwyane Wade and will struggle to make the playoffs this season.
The Knicks are 7-1 against the spread in their last eight home games. Miami has lost their last three road games, each by more than 10 points. That's going to prove to be a very big factor tonight.
The Knicks are 16-5 against the spread in their last 21 games following a straight up loss. The Knicks are also 9-3 against the spread in their last 12 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. They will bounce back tonight at home after blowing a lead in the second half to the Nets last night. Lay the points.
