Knicks at Heat
Tonight ● 7:00 ● TNT ● ESPN (1050 AM)
PF Amar’e Stoudemire vs. Chris Bosh — Knicks had matchup edge last season, but Bosh has come on and Stoudemire has lost step.
Edge: Heat
SF Carmelo Anthony vs. LeBron James — Melo is rusty and James is playing out of his mind, but this is one player Anthony normally bests since H.S.
Edge: Even
C Tyson Chandler vs. Joel Anthony — Please. Chandler was a Heat-killer last June in the Finals while with the Mavericks and is best center never to make an All-Star team. He’s getting it done on both ends of the floor now. Anthony is a big body, decent defender but is liability on offense.
Edge: Knicks
SG Landry Fields vs. Dwyane Wade — Wade did a dunking number on Fields in Miami, but Landry has gotten his mojo back since then. Wade has to zoom out of arena to host his All-Star party in Orlando late tonight.
Edge: Heat
PG Jeremy Lin vs. Mario Chalmers — Big difference in this season’s Heat is stepped-up play of the bolder Chalmers, but Linsanity has more momentum.
Edge: Knicks
