With Jalen Brunson sidelined recovering from a right ankle sprain, the Knicks have had to replace the captain’s scoring output as a committee.

The Miami Heat will head to the “World’s Most Famous Arena” for a battle with the New York Knicks. It will be a battle at Madison Square Garden as we continue our NBA odds series and make a Heat-Knicks prediction and pick.

Outside of Brunson, the Knicks are largely healthy, with Karl-Anthony Towns fully capable of stepping into the role of the leading scorer in the meantime. Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby are also capable scorers, and even if the offense is scuffling a bit right now, this team should be able to figure things out — especially at home.

The Miami Heat (29-38) will travel to the East Coast on Monday to face a long-time foe, the New York Knicks (42-24) at Madison Square Garden.
