AVOID.
The Nets are still looking for their first win since before the All-Star break, losers of their last 8 games. The Heat have lost 2 of their last 3, but against good competition in the Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks. It’s tough to imagine Miami having a letdown at home.
BET HEAT -13.5 (-105).
Before its contest against the Cavaliers Sunday, Brooklyn failed to cover in 7 straight games. The Heat are 6-4 against the spread in their last 10 games, covering in all 6 wins.
BET OVER 226.5 (-110).
Miami is averaging 119.8 points per game, the second-highest in the NBA, and have hit the Over in 3 of its last 4 games. The Nets have hit the Under in 3 of their last 4, scoring at least 110 points in those 3 games.
