Prediction

Heat 111, Nets 105

Moneyline

BET HEAT (+105).

The Nets have dropped 7 of their last 8 games including 2 of their last 3 at home. They face a Miami team that is 11-9 on the road this season. Miami has won 6 of its last 10 including 3 of its last 4 and both of its previous 2. While both teams rank similarly in offensive efficiency, the Heat rank 10th in defensive efficiency while the Nets rank 23rd. This inadequacy is what will allow the Heat to capture another road win.

Against the spread

PASS.

There is more profit to be made betting on the Heat to win outright.

The Heat have hit the Under in 7 of their last 10 games including their last 5 road games. They have scored more than 110 points just 4 times in the past 10 games while allowing 113 or less in 7 of their last 10.
