NBA FREE PICK: Take the UNDER 186.5 Heat/Knicks. According to the latest NBA trends, the 0-4 Under last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, 1-6-1 Under last 8 vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, 1-5 Under last 6 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5, 1-5 Under last 6 games as a favorite, 7-20-1 Under is 20-7-1 last 28 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game, 8-21 Under last 29 vs. Eastern Conference and 7-18-1 Under in Heat last 26 games. Heat is 1-7-1 Under last 9 vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, 1-5 Under last 6 Thursday games and 2-6 Under last 8 games as a home underdog of 5.0-10.5. Miami is likely to play without Chris Bosh (wife giving birth) and New York is playing without Amare Stoudemire (hand). Miami is one of the best defensive teams in the NBA, who held the Knicks to 67 points in the first game and 94 in the second (Stoudemire had 18 points). This will be more of a defensive struggle for both teams. Knicks need to grind it out and get the ball to Carmelo Anthony.
