Kemba Walker, Charlotte - Prob Sat

Walker is dealing with an ankle injury but is expected to play Saturday against the Cavaliers.


Harden's last second free throws covers spread

The Houston Rockets covered by one-point against the Oklahoma City Thunder on the back of two last second free throws from James Harden.

After Kevin Durant drained a three-pointer for the Thunder to pull them within two, James Harden took the intentional foul from Oklahoma City. With 14 seconds left, Harden sank both free throw attempts for the final points of the game. Though it wouldn't affect the win column straight-up, these two final points made sure the Rockets covered by one.

The cover ended a three game ATS drought for the Rockets and improved their season total to 38-35-2.

Game of the Day: Knicks at Heat
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New York Knicks at Miami Heat (-7, 187)

Sitting on the periphery of the Eastern Conference playoff race, the New York Knicks can't afford another loss the rest of the way. They'll be in for one of the biggest challenges of the season Sunday afternoon as they face the conference-leading Heat in Miami. New York is coming off a 90-89 heartbreaker to the Washington Wizards on Friday night and enters Sunday's action one game behind the Atlanta Hawks for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East.

Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony indicated that he will play against the Heat after suffering what was termed a "deep bruise" in his right shoulder in the contest against Washington. Miami is in a battle of its own, sitting mere percentage points ahead of the Indiana Pacers in the race for the No. 1 seed in the conference. The Heat lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves 122-121 in double overtime on Friday night despite 34 points from LeBron James.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, ABC

LINE HISTORY: The Heat opened as 6.5-point home faves and are currently at -7. The total opened at 189 and is down to 187.

INJURY WATCH: New York: F Carmelo Anthony - probable Sunday (shoulder). Miami: G Dwyane Wade Doubtful Sunday (hamstring), C Greg Oden questionable (back)

POWER RANKINGS: New York (-5.3) - Miami (-13.8) + home court (-3) = Miami -11.5

WHY BET THE KNICKS (34-43 ATS): New president of basketball operations Phil Jackson may clean house at the end of the season - and the first to depart may be head coach Mike Woodson. While Jackson goes on a "talent hunt," according to a report in the New York Post, he has apparently done little talking with Woodson, who is expected to take the fall for the team's struggles. "We haven't had any conversations," Woodson said. "My focus mainly has been on getting the team in the playoffs and when that time comes, it will happen."

WHY BET THE HEAT (35-38-2ATS): James has had to carry the bulk of the scoring load while swingman Dwyane Wade continues to recover from hamstring and Achilles injuries. Wade remains without a timetable to return, but James said his teammate is "looking better and better every day" and believes that "probably within the next week he should be back on the floor." Wade has been limited to 51 games this season but has been effective in limited action, averaging 19.2 points, 4.8 assists and 4.6 rebounds.

TRENDS:

* Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Miami.
* Favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Under is 15-5-1 in the last 21 meetings.
* Knicks are 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings in Miami.

CONSENSUS: Fifty-five percent of the wagers are on the Heat -6.5.

Sunday, April 6


Pelicans' C Anthony Davis, questionable Sunday

Davis is dealing with a back injury and is questionable to play Saturday against the Magic.


Heat guard Dwyane Wade, doubtful Sunday

Wade is suffering from cramps in his left hamstring and has missed the last five games. He is not expected to play in Sunday's game against the Knicks.


Rockets' center Dwight Howard, doubtful Sunday

Howard has missed the last four games with an ankle injury and is not expected to play Sunday against the Nuggets.


Anthony plans to play with shoulder injury

New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony plans to play at the Miami Heat on Sunday, despite having a right shoulder injury.

Anthony said Saturday that the injury is a deep bruise or light sprain and that he has trouble lifting the shoulder. He received treatment for the tight shoulder at the team's facility. He sustained the injury during Wednesday night's win over the Brooklyn Nets.

Anthony also played in Friday's 90-89 loss the Washington Wizards, but clearly struggled. He scored just 10 points on five-for-14 shooting with eight rebounds and five assists. However, he attempted no free throws and committed nine turnovers.
