Question Miami at New York - Who covers?

This rivalry reborn tonight. Heat -5

Kind of surprised Miami a bigger favorite in NY than Boston was.

Great defense vs no defense

Amare's been going off but plays no defense

How will Lebron do in MSG?

D Wade has had big games there as well

10 game winning streak on the line

Who do you like & why?

when the bright lights come on in the big apple the superstars usually come out to play. i expect wade and lebron to have big games tonight and pull out the W. being able to win by 6 is another story though with how well amare and co have been playing as of late.

This game is hands down at Heats favour.. Lebron and Wade will pull off double/double's each, Bosh with a double digit rebounds. I dont expect a blow out.. but enough to cover the spread.

I don't like this game at all, but I see this game going under the point total. Best of luck to everyone that is on this game. I will stay away from this game but I am on the under in this one.

If the Heat fall into the up-tempo game the Knicks play like Boston did then the Knicks don't lose by five. I think this will in fact be an up-tempo game and like the Knicks with the points.

That Celtics/Knicks game was awesome!! Doubt this one will live up to that one, but it should be fun. I like the way the Knicks have been playing, but will probably throw a couple bucks on the Heat.

I think Miami wins this game going away in the 4th quarter. There will be too much offense for the Knicks to contain and Miami wins by 8-10 points.

The Celts/knick game would had been alot different if Boston had there big
guys available. Then Garnett would have been on Amare for most, if not all
game. Ny shot the light outs, everything they put up was going in. Doubt
that will happen again tonight. Not a Heat fan but, take Wade and the "IDIOT"
James in a comfortable win. Miami by 11
