Best NBA prop bets today for Knicks vs. Heat (How to bet Julius Randle)

The New York Knicks face the Miami Heat for the third time this season, and Julius Randle has to love this matchup after scoring 43 and hitting a game-winner against the Heat the last time these teams played.

There are a few ways to bet in the prop market in this game, and I’m focusing on stars Jimmy Butler and Randle to come through in a big way.

Let’s dive into the picks:

Knicks vs. Heat best NBA prop bets

• Immanuel Quickley OVER 2.5 Assists
• Julius Randle OVER 26.5 Points
• Jimmy Butler OVER 24.5 Points

Immanuel Quickley OVER 2.5 Assists

Immanuel Quickley has cleared 2.5 assists in eight of his last nine games, but he’s set at +115 odds to do that against Miami’s tough defense.

Still, Quickley had three assists against the Heat the last time these teams played, averaging 3.9 per game over this stretch and 3.2 per game on the season. He’s worth a shot to hit his season average tonight.

Julius Randle OVER 26.5 Points

The Miami Heat simply don’t have a good matchup for Randle, unless they plan on using Bam Adebayo to guard him.

Randle scored 43 points in his last meeting with the Heat, and he’s cleared 26.5 points in six of his last 13 games. Jules is coming off a 57-point performance, and he’s been extremely hot from 3, shooting 37.8 percent from deep over his last 13 games.

Jimmy Butler OVER 24.5 Points

Butler hung 33 on the Knicks the last time these teams played, getting to the free-throw line at will.

The Heat All-Star has put up at least 23 points in eight straight, clearing this line in five of those games.

The Knicks play a physical brand of basketball, but Butler thrives at drawing contact and knocking down his freebies. I’ll trust him to stay hot on Wednesday.
