The Knicks' scoring average over the last five games at home is 125.2, significantly higher than the Heat's away scoring average of 107.8. This indicates a strong offensive performance by the Knicks at home. When considering the defensive performance, the Knicks have allowed their opponents a score of 119.4 at home, which is higher than the Heat's 105.4 away. However, the Knicks' overall recent form against the Heat (3-1) shows they have been able to overcome the Heat in the majority of their recent encounters. With this edge in offensive performance and recent form, it is statistically reasonable to predict the Knicks to cover a -7.5 point spread against the Heat.

The betting rationale for the Miami Heat is supported by their recent strong away performance and overall scoring ability. Looking at the L5 (last five games) records, the Heat have been performing better on the road with a 4-1 record compared to the Knicks' home record of 3-2. Despite the Knicks having a home advantage, the Heat's superior away game performance indicates that they are capable of securing a win. Additionally, the Heat's overall team score in the last five games is marginally lower than the Knicks, but their away score is significantly higher than the Knicks' home score. This shows that the Heat have been scoring well even in away games. Thus, these factors justify the bet on Miami Heat in the Moneyline market.
