Miami Heat vs New York Knicks Prediction: the Knicks Have Excellent Chances

Prediction for the NBA Miami Heat vs New York Knicks match which will take place on May 6th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Heat unexpectedly confidently won the first-round series against Milwaukee but lost two players at once due to injuries. Having beaten New York in the first away match of the second-round series, Erik Spoelstra's team also lost Jimmy Butler, who missed the second game with the Knicks. Without Butler, Miami lost - 105:111. This match was insignificant, given that the Heat regained the home advantage. However, the further course of the series will largely depend on the health of Butler, whose participation in the third game is still questionable.

The Knicks have already succeeded by achieving the Eastern Conference semifinals. But Tom Thibodeau's team does not plan to stop there. The first games with Miami showed that the chances of winning the series are approximately equal, and the outcome will be decided in the seventh match and depend on the little things. Again, New York is the favorite, given the unclear situation with Jimmy Butler's injury.

It is unknown whether Jimmy Butler will play. But, most likely, they will not risk the leader's health, and in case of defeat in the third game, he will play in the crucial fourth game. So the Knicks here have excellent chances to regain the home advantage.
