The New York Knicks will welcome the Miami Heat in an anticipated NBA 2025-26 clash on Sunday, December 21. This will be the fourth time both teams will appear against each other in the current NBA season. In the previous three games, the Heat dominated the rivals twice with convincing wins, while the Knicks handed them an eight-point loss to take the tally 2-1. In the forthcoming game, the Knicks would seek revenge of the previous defeats and would aim to level their tally against the Florida-based franchise.

The Knicks will head into the game on the back of a nine-point loss to the Philadelphia 76ers in their most-recent game. The defeat brought their seven-game winning streak to an end, and dropped their tally to 19-8 in the standings. On the other hand, the Heat slumped to the Boston Celtics in their previous fixture, marking their fourth defeat in the last five games.

Both teams are coming off defeats, but the Knicks have been more consistent lately. However, even the Heat have been performing decently in the current season, making the upcoming game a highly anticipated fixture. As both teams gear up to lock horns on a Sunday evening, let’s get into their injury concerns and see how their starting lineups could look like.
