<p>The <strong>Miami Heat</strong> are set to take on the <strong>New York Knicks</strong> in the next chapter of their thrilling NBA playoff series, with the Heat being the favored at <strong>-6</strong> on the <strong>spread</strong>. The total is set at <strong>207.5</strong>. Miami is poised to continue its flawless home run this postseason, with <strong>Jimmy Butler</strong> primed to bounce back after his rare sub-20-point game.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a question mark hanging over <strong>Jalen Brunson</strong> of the Knicks, who played an exhausting <strong>48 minutes</strong> in Game 5. Can he sustain such intensity, especially on the road? Despite this, the Knicks have proven they can surprise us, as demonstrated in their impressive home game performance.</p>
<p>The spread for the Knicks is six points. This grey area of more than two possessions could prove crucial, considering the game&#8217;s 207.5-point total. Every possession will matter, and this contest could be decided in a few pivotal moments.</p>
<p>The Knicks&#8217; decision to play their stars through the end of their last game, treating it like a Game 7, proved beneficial. However, the same aggressive strategy may now prove challenging, particularly for Brunson, who might be expected to replicate his 48-minute performance. Knicks&#8217; coach <strong>Tom Thibodeau</strong> will likely face this critical decision.</p>
<p>The Heat, throughout the series, have shown their superior quality as a team. Despite the Knicks&#8217; impressive home game, Miami is the favored team for a reason. They&#8217;ve demonstrated a stronger overall performance, and with Butler potentially shining tonight, the scales lean further in the Heat&#8217;s favor.</p>
<p>However, the 6-point line for the Heat does give pause. While it&#8217;s likely Miami will win, the final score may be a close call, such as 104-100 or 104-101, especially considering Butler&#8217;s bunch isn&#8217;t known for high-scoring games. Nonetheless, if you believe in the Heat&#8217;s superiority, laying the 6-points seems to be the move.</p>
<p>We shouldn&#8217;t forget about the Knicks&#8217; <strong>Quentin Grimes</strong>. His over for<strong> 5.5 rebounds+assists (-142)</strong> has been consistent every time he&#8217;s played at least <strong>40 minutes</strong> this season, both regular and postseason. That&#8217;s an impressive <strong>8-0</strong>. When he&#8217;s played <strong>38 minutes</strong>, he&#8217;s <strong>12-1</strong> to the over. As long as Grimes gets 40 minutes on the court in Game 6 against Miami, expect him to go over his player prop.</p>
