The New York Knicks host the Miami Heat tonight. A clash between East's two worst teams this season, teams that have no other purpose than rotating the players on the field so that everyone gets some minutes. Both team's are hit by injuries. The Knicks are without Curry, Marbury, Richardson and Robinson, while the Heat have a huge injury list composed of Williams, Dwyane Wade (knee),Udonis Haslem (ankle), Dorell Wright (knee), Alonzo Mourning (knee), Alexander Johnson (knee) and Shawn Marion (back). So Heat without 4 starters, while Knicks without 3 starters.

The Knicks have lost 5 in a row and 12 of their last 13 games. The Heat have won the last game against the Bucks, and 4 games before that another victory against the Bucks, but the rest of the games were defeats. The Heat are playing very slow in this situation, and most of their last games stayed under the points line. These teams met three times this season:

13.03.2008 NBA Miami Heat - NY Knicks 88:91

20.01.2008 NBA Miami Heat - NY Knicks 84:88

12.11.2007 NBA NY Knicks - Miami Heat 72:75

The highest scoring match reached 179 between them, and tonight the line is set at 188.5, mainly because of NY's looser games of late. But since there is no motivation here, and the teams are just making an act of presence, i don't see this game being fast, but more like dull attacks at the edge of the 24-second period. Good luck.
