The matchup against New York is a challenging one for threes; when the Knicks are on their home court, the other team's starting SFs have posted the 14th-lowest three rate in the league this year (29.6%).The Knicks have played at the 2nd-slowest pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 5 games, which ought to reduce plays for the Heat.The Miami Heat check in as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer chances for scoring and assists).Caleb Martin will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing while traveling generally lowers player performance across the board.
