The New York Knicks will take on the Miami Heat on Thursday for the first time this season as New York looks to shake off two consecutive gut-punching losses for their first game in February.
Thursday’s game serves as the second of a four-game homestand and will also be the fourth time in their last five games that they will face a team currently sitting comfortably in a playoff position.
The Heat are the team that sits in front of the Knicks in the Eastern Conference standings. New York is two games back of Miami for the sixth seed.
