NYK vs MIA Dream11 Match Prediction

 

NYK vs MIA Dream11: Having lost the last game 117-113 against Brooklyn Nets, the Miami Heat will be looking to return to winning ways at the first time of asking when they play New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Monday morning (IST).
Jimmy Butler scored a game-high 33 points, Bam Adebayo gave him the company with 22 points. But the Nets’ cumulative efforts and a couple of free throws at the end saw them beat the Heat.
It was only the third defeat for the Heat in the last 11 games, and 11th this season. Though, the Heat are 2nd in the Eastern Conference, the away from should concern the team management and fans.
New York Knicks, on the other hand, are once again spending their life around the foot of the table. Not since 2012-13 season that the Knicks have tasted the post-season, and their current positions indicate that the wait is going to be longer by one more season. They lost the last five games and ate 14th in the East.

Grand League tips:

  • Both Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo can end the game with the biggest impact on the game. So both are worth considering for the captain. But for the Small League, Adebayo may be tad safer.
  • If Marcus Morris is fit, he can be a good option to lead the team. After all, he is leading the Knicks with almost 20 points per game.
  • The likes of Goran Dragic, Kendrick Nunn and Tyler Herro can be the game-changer. All three have won games for the Heat this season.
