New York Knicks Betting
The Knicks seem to be struggling on the road, especially during their postseason. New York played well during their regular season but they must win to keep this series alive. The Knicks are also dealing with injured players and they hope to build on their last success. New York has five players ruled out and the only key for the Knicks is going to be their strong defense. A victory is going to be the Kicks in a decent position for their next round.
Injury Report: Immanuel Quickley (sprained left ankle) is doubtful and Jericho Sims (right shoulder surgery) is out for Game 6.

Miami Heat Betting
The Miami Heat will try to finish this series at home and will try not to extend it to one more game. Miami has played great at home throughout the season and they will continue to do their best. Miami has key players on their squad despite dealing with injuries. Victor Oladipo will be missing due to his knee injury. Tyler Herro is the other player on the injured list. Miami will need to get back on track and bring back their top players against tougher teams.
