Prepare for social media overload this evening as forums, blogs, and tweets ignite the hype of this premature rivalry.

Heat superstars Dwyane Wade and NBA MVP-front runner, LeBron James, host the visiting Knicks led by Carmelo Anthony and sophomore sensation Jeremy Lin.

With both ball clubs potentially poised to make strong second half surges—after the upcoming All-Star break—it is possible that tonight’s matchup is a prelude to the Eastern Conference Finals.

The game will be broadcasted on TNT starting at 7PM EST.
