Overview
- The Knicks visit the Heat on Monday for their third meeting of the season after splitting the first two games, with New York trying to halt a three-game road skid.
- Tyler Herro remains out following ankle surgery and Bam Adebayo was listed as out again by the New York Post after practicing Sunday with a left big toe sprain.
- Jalen Brunson sprained his right ankle last week and his availability remains uncertain, OG Anunoby is sidelined with a hamstring strain, and Miles McBride is questionable for personal reasons.
- New York’s depth powered Friday’s 140-132 win as Karl-Anthony Towns scored 39 points, Landry Shamet posted a career-high 36, and Josh Hart recorded a 12-12-10 triple-double.
- Miami leads the East in scoring and field-goal percentage, New York ranks among the conference’s top 3-point shooting teams, and both sides describe the quick rematch as a playoff-style tune-up.
