RJ Barrett's production has dropped this season, but he's still been positive for the Knicks. The Heat present a formidable defense for the Knicks to manage, so Barrett will be forced to be a conscious passer. At bet365, Barrett is a +160 to clear 2.5 assists when he faces the Miami Heat.

He'll try to enforce his playmaking against a Heat team that he's 23.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists against this season.

The Miami Heat are known for their stifling perimeter defense, so being forced into the passer role should prop up his assist numbers. Barett has cleared 2.5 assists in just one of his last five games this season. He's also collected three or more assists in 31 of his 66 appearances.
