New York at Miami

Premium Pick

New York shot about as bad as you'll ever see in a playoff game as the Knicks finished with a .341 field goal percentage and went 8-for-40 from 3-point range while getting blown out in Game 3. However, Miami shot just 38.9 percent and only 21.9 percent from beyond the arc and that was well enough to get the easy victory. The Heat won't get away with that again if the Knicks just shoot their average of 46.6 percent overall and 34.8 percent on 3-pointers. Also, as we have seen throughout the years and this season, teams that get routed in one game tend to bounce back and look entirely different the next. Saturday's game stayed UNDER by 16.5 points and the Knicks are 7-1 UNDER their past eight games and 5-0 UNDER on the road. New York has allowed an average of only 97.5 points its past six games. Play the Knicks on the money line and the UNDER.
