On Wednesday, while I watch for snow, the New York Knicks (23-25) travel to Florida to battle the Miami Heat (30-17). This marks the first of three regular-season meetings between the two teams.
The Eastern Conference-leading Heat last played on Sunday, defeating the Lakers 113-107. On Monday, the eleventh-place Knicks once again fought back from a self-inflicted hole but lost 95-93 to the Cavaliers.
ESPN.com gives the Heat a 75.8% chance. They could have rounded up to 80%, no? Tip-off’s at 7:30 p.m., snowbirds.
PROJECTED STARTERS
