NBA Betting – Heat go for 11th Straight on Friday Night. The hottest team in the NBA goes for their 11th straight win on Friday night as the Miami Heat visit the New York Knicks in NBA betting. The Heat are not only winning straight up of late, they are also covering the spread a lot for those making an NBA bet at SBG. This will be a good test for Miami as they face a New York team that just had their eight-game winning streak snapped on Wednesday.
This game between Miami and New York will be on ESPN and should get a lot of attention. It will be the first visit for LeBron James to New York with the Miami Heat. LeBron has always played very well in New York but this is not the same New York team as in years past. The Knicks have Amare Stoudemire who is playing better than anyone in the NBA. The atmosphere on Friday night at the Garden should be intense and this will be fun to watch.
