BETTING TRENDS

Brooklyn are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games on the road.

The total has gone OVER in 9 of Brooklyn's last 11 games on the road.

Miami are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games.

Miami are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games at home.

Prediction

Miami has 5 of their best players questionable again so there's a chance that they could be shorthanded for this game. Miami has struggled lately failing to cover in 6 of the last 6 games and in 5 of the last 5 at home. The Nets need to win every game if they want to get a direct pass to the playoffs. Kyrie and Durant are on fire and with the Heat having many players in doubt I think the Nets are the play.

PICK: Nets -4.5 (-110)
