After that Miami Heat’s bad loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night, the team has a chance to bounce back in the next two games against the New York Knicks. With The heat is coming off a disappointing loss to the Cavsthe team is down to a lineup without key players, as the same will happen on Friday.

The Knicks will be without a star Jalen Brunson with a Grade 1 ankle sprain and will miss Friday’s game and potentially Monday. However, Miami will have to be on its toes to fall to an understaffed team as recently as Davion Mitchell he would even say New York might be “more dangerous” without Brunson and explains why that might be.

“Yeah, I mean, his absence actually makes them a little bit more dangerous, just because they move the ball more,” Mitchell said via Heat Central on X, formerly Twitter, credited to the team. “They haven’t really stagnated, they’ve got guys on the defensive end that can really guard, like Myles McBride, who can really guard, but also just the offensive rebound. I think that’s probably going to be their mindset, especially since the last few games we’ve played, they’re going out there and trying to hit us on offensive rebounds and trying to switch jobs and we’ve just been able to do that job. run.”

Miami doesn’t want a repeat of what happened Wednesday, as after Monday’s thrilling overtime win against a healthy Cleveland team, they lost to a team without Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Darius Garland.

As it is Heat to consistencythe team already had a win over the Knicks this season, who had Brunson at the time, with a 115-107 win on Oct. 26, one of Miami’s most important wins to start the year. It would be Miami star Norman Powell’s first win against the Knicks, he scored 29 points on the night, but beating them is nothing new for the veteran, as he is 19-3 during his careerresponding to statistics.

“I didn’t even know about the record,” Powell said. “It’s always a fun place to play. You know, the atmosphere is always lively, whether you’re being booed or booed by them, depending on what it is, because this fan base is really intense, but it’s always a great time at MSG. You know, I think we’re ready for it. We haven’t played a tournament in the season with little additions, so I know these two rivals are going to be added, especially the Teams are, so I think it’s going to be a good game to win and move on to 20.

Either way, Miami is trying to get the bad taste out of its mouth after Wednesday’s frustrating loss to Cleveland and looks to continue its winning streak against the Knicks on Friday night and Monday. Friday’s game will be part of the NBA’s regular season, as the Heat look to win NBA Cuphe’s already off to a 1-0 start in group play.
