The Miami Heat have held the top spot in the NBA East for quite some time, but they have gotten shaky of late, and there are now three other teams that are just 1.5 games behind them. The Heat have extensive injury issues, including a questionable status by Butler and Herro for tonight's game vs. the Knicks. The Heat are just 3-4 in their last seven games (1-6 ATS), and their current run is five straight ATS losses. The Knicks are playing very well and are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games. New York is also 6-4 straight up in their last 10, and that includes four outright wins as an underdog. This could be another opportunity for New York to put one in the win column as a dog vs. a banged-up Miami team. Make the play on New York on the moneyline.
