New York Knicks vs. Miami Heat Game 2 odds and picks

The New York Knicks will look to rebound in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Miami Heat on Tuesday night at 7:30 at Madison Square Garden.

Despite a 32-21 lead at the end of the first quarter, New York couldn't hold on in 108-101 Game 1 loss on Sunday afternoon.

Will the Knicks bounce back or can Miami take a 2-0 series lead back to South Beach? Here are the odds, plus my picks and predictions for Game 2 with odds powered by Tipico Sportsbook.

Knicks-Heat spread: Heat +6.5 (-105)

While Julius Randle didn't play in Game 1 due to an ankle sprain, it seems as he might give it a go as New York is currently a 6.5-point favorite. This spread could also be indicative that Heat star Jimmy Butler might be limited as he's questionable for Tuesday night after he rolled his ankle in the Game 1 victory.

I expect both Butler and Randle to suit up and in that scenario bet on Miami here. The Heat are 5-1 against the spread (ATS) in the playoffs and 12-5 ATS in the last 17 meetings at MSG.

After the team's Game 1 performance, it's hard to wager against the Heat at +6.5 even if Randle suits up.

Knicks-Heat total: Under 207.5 points (-112)

There's no better option right now than to bet on the under when the Knicks are playing. New York has hit the under in six straight games to start the playoffs and are 4-1-1 to the under in its previous six second round games.

However, it should be noted that Miami has gone under in 16 of its past 21 overall dating back to the regular season.

With the total 21-6 to the under in the last 27 meetings in New York, wager on the under until there's a high-scoring contest.

Knicks-Heat moneyline: Knicks (-280)

As of Monday afternoon, a whopping 91 percent of the bets are on the Heat moneyline (+235) while it's a 50/50 draw on where the money is being wagered.

With the likely return of Randle to the lineup, I'm betting on a bounce back spot for the Knicks in Game 2 as they even the series.

If you're looking for better value on Tipico Sportsbook, wager on the Knicks to win and the under 207.5 points at +160.

My Best Bets

Place a wager on the Knicks moneyline (-280), the Heat to cover the +6.5 spread (-105) and the under 207.5 points at -112 on Tipico Sportsbook.
