Nets vs. Heat Prediction & Pick

The Heat might have more recent success than the Nets, but they'll be dealing with a depleted lineup tonight. Miami has already ruled out Kyle Lowry (knee), Tyler Herro (knee) and Victor Oladipo (ankle) for tonight's festivities while Duncan Robinson is questionable with a finger injury.

Nevertheless, the Heat still have Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, who are both better than anyone on the Nets. Brooklyn has looked awful since trading away Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, going 1-4 in the last five games while losing by an average of 5.0 points. It does help that the Nets are also coming off an 18-point loss to the Knicks.

With the Heat allowing the second-fewest points (108.2 PPG) with the fourth-best defensive efficiency, I don't see the Nets having enough offensive success to win this evening. Expect Miami to grind out a hard-fought win.

Final Score Prediction: Heat: 106 | Nets: 101

Nets vs. Heat Best Bet

There's a good chance that this game will develop into a low-scoring affair. For starters, the Heat's injuries and strong defense already increase the probability of fewer points being scored. Secondly, the Nets' offense has been far from impressive, averaging just 102 points over the last two games.

In addition to the under being 8-4 in the Heat's last 12 games, it's also 6-1 in their last seven meetings with the Nets. At the end of the day, there's no reason to expect many points to be scored tonight.

Bet: Under 211.5 Points (-110)
