Nets at Heat picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 111, Heat 105

Moneyline

The NETS (+145) will keep the ball rolling and rattle off their 3rd straight victory as underdogs in South Beach Thursday. The Heat are home for 1 game after a 4-game road trip and will head back out of town on a 5-game road trip as soon as this game ends. While Miami has been finding ways to win behind stars Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler, a big trap game wouldn't surprise me here. We already know this Nets squad has the Heats number.

Against the spread

NETS +3.5 (-105) is a solid play here to win by 2 or more baskets. The Heat are quite literally limping into this one, and the stage is set for a letdown game. Miami will struggle to generate offense being without Herro, who's averaging 22.9 points.

Over/Under

UNDER 217.5 (-105) is the play here. With both teams banged up, this game will likely be an ugly battle and a low-scoring game is probable. The Under has cashed in 3 out of 4 of both teams' recent games.
