Miami heads to rival New York playng great defense, 10th in the NBA in points allowed. Miami is 19-8-1 ATS in Sunday games and 6-2 ATS playing on three or more days rest. They've had plenty of time to rest and stew after a 114-97 home loss to Golden State. Dwyane Wade is healty and back, but that's not likely the case for New York's Carmelo Anthony. The Knicks (4-13) are preparing for a third straight game without Anthony due to back spasms. For all the talk of the Triangle offense coming to the Knicks, this team isn't playing any defense at 14th in field goal shooting allowed and 27th at defending the three-pointer (39.7% shooting allowed). The Knicks are 3-13 ATS against NBA Southeast Division and on a 3-9 ATS run overall. Play the Miami Heat.
