It’s true that they had a three-game winning streak going strong just a few weeks ago, but they’re currently enduring a three-game drought, coming off a 106-92 loss to the Golden State Warriors.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n At this point, the Knicks are 28th in the NBA in points scored per game. To make matters worse, they’re 20th in points per game allowed.<\/p>\n That’s hardly a recipe for success, and it’s why they’ve won just 10 contests entering this one with the Miami Heat.<\/p>\n Like the New York Knicks, the Miami Heat are struggling on offense. In fact, the team from South Beach is even worse off on that end of the floor.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n So far this season, Miami is just 29th in points scored per contest. The team is averaging 92.4 points per game compared to 92.7 for the Knickerbockers.<\/p>\n Defense, however, is where the difference is.<\/p>\n On defense, the Knicks are allowing opponents to score 100.3 points per contest. Miami, on the other hand, is holding opponents to 96.3 points per game.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63741&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n That number is second in the entire Association, and it’s why this group has a chance of doing damage in the playoffs with the Eastern Conference struggling to stay relevant at times while the West flourishes.<\/p>\n Look for the Heat to cone away with a solid win in this one. New York is struggling, and the Heat defense should get them a win against one of the most anemic offenses in the game today<\/p>\n\n
