This 3:30pm showdown is a huge opportunity for the Knicks to steal a victory with Butler’s tender ankle. After a 5 day lay off I’m thinking Jalen Brunson has had time for his ankle to heal so I think he’s good for 25 points. Julius Randle will have to also drop major points and clean up 8 rebounds for the Knicks to have a chance. There are too many ifs with the Knicks who will be surrounded by white in Miami’s Kaseya Center. I’ll air on the side of home court advantage in this one and give the W to the Heat on the moneyline. Butler is a game time decision but even without him, the Heat showed they can beat the inexperienced Knicks on the road. Kyle Lowry and Kevin Love have been here before and I don’t think they will allow their team to fall to 2-1 at home. Give Gabe Vincent 15 points and Lowry 6 assists. Bam Adebayo should be good for 15 points if Butler doesn’t play otherwise give him 8 rebounds.

I was 2 assists and a rebound away from Durant and 2 rebounds from Ayton away from being 100% correct on my picks for yesterday’s games so maybe you’ve actually got a shot at some of these parlay picks. The game should be close and competitive so enjoy! One caveat, I’ve noticed the games seem to start anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes after the time listed for the purposes of elongating pregame shows and selling more commercial time. Just wanted to point that out…
