The Miami Heat (29-38) carry a seven-game losing skid into Monday’s matchup against the New York Knicks (42-24). Tipoff from Madison Square Garden is at 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN).

The Knicks, who are 2-3 since losing Jalen Brunson, are 7.5-point favorites against the Heat. They’ve only been favored twice since Brunson went down, though this spread is 3.5 points higher than the -4 line against the Portland Trail Blazers in the previous instance.

Heat center Bam Adebayo admitted over the weekend that the team is waiting for Wiggins to be himself after being traded from the Golden State Warriors for Jimmy Butler. 

Assuming Wiggins plays (he’s questionable), I could see those comments motivating him to be aggressive as a scorer.

Since joining the Heat, Wiggins has averaged 2.9 assists per game, clearing this prop in six of his 11 games. This line is as high as -135 at BetMGM, indicating value with this discount at DraftKings.

Staying in the assist market, Bridges is a solid bet to clear 3.5 dimes against the Heat. He’s recorded four-plus assists in three of his four games since Brunson went down, as he commands more usage for a team without its star.

Bridges is second on the team with an average of 10 potential assists per game since Brunson was sidelined. He’s produced an average of five assists over that span, which I project for him on Monday against Miami.

📊 Best Mikal Bridges prop bet odds

🏀 Best Karl-Anthony Towns prop pick: Under 25.5 points ⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -110 via BetMGM ($10 to win $9.09)

Towns is coming off a 29-point, 12-rebound performance against the Warriors. But there is value in fading the Knicks' big man's inflated points prop, particularly in a matchup against Miami’s two-big lineup.

Towns has averaged 21.7 points per game this month, finishing below this mark in four of his six contests. This line is as high as -122 at some of our best sports betting sites, so it’s worth scooping up this -110 value ahead of tipoff.
