Miami Heat vs. New York Knicks. The NBA Pick for this contest is the New York Knicks. The New York Knicks suffered a blow in their last game as their guard Immanuel Quickley was out due to a sprained left ankle. Unfortunately, it seems he will not be able to play in this upcoming game. However, the Knicks have been performing well on their home court, winning three of their four playoff games at home. The team’s supporting players tend to perform better in front of a home crowd, which could give them an edge in this match. Despite being on the brink of elimination, I predict that the Knicks will rise to the occasion and cover the spread on Wednesday. Prediction: the Knicks win 110-101.
