Heat at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Heat 111, Nets 109

Moneyline

The HEAT (+150) will be without their leading scorer in G Tyler Herro, but they have been surging as of late. They have won 6 of their last 8 road games, with all of them coming by more than 1 possession.

The Nets haven't been great at home, either — they're just 3-3 over their last 6 at Barclays Center. Brooklyn will be without its leading scorer in Thomas, along with Simmons, and is just 2-4 without the 22-year-old guard this season. Back HEAT (+150).

Against the spread

PASS.

The Heat have good value on the moneyline, and while the spread is more than 1 possession, the moneyline should offer the better play.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 216 (-110).

The Nets are 3-1 O/U over their last 4 games. They have scored at least 115 in 3 of those 4, including putting 115 on the defensive-minded Heat on Nov. 16.

The Heat are 3-2 O/U in their last 5 and 2-1 O/U over their last 3. They have scored at least 118 points per game in 3 of their last 5. Expect enough points to top this low total. Take OVER 216 (-110).
