The Miami Heat (38-21) are visiting the New York Knicks (25-34) in their first game after the All-Star break. There are plenty of unknowns as injury reports have been absent for a while, but regardless, the Heat should have their main weapons against a team they beat pretty good down in Miami.
And yet the NBA is putting them on national television again as this one is on ESPN. Miami, with the second best record in the East after last night’s Chicago Bulls victory put them on top, is beginning a stretch of games against really quality opponents after the weekend, so a good start here is key.
