The Brooklyn Nets (26-13) visit the Miami Heat (21-19) Sunday. Tip-off from FTX Arena is set for 6 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Nets vs. Heat odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.
The Nets have won 9 of their last 10 games including a 108-102 victory at the New Orleans Pelicans Friday. Brooklyn picked up the win on the heels of F Kevin Durant’s 33 points on a poor 9 of 26 shooting, despite G Kyrie Irving having a bad outing (19 points, 7 of 22 shooting).
The Heat are coming off a big 104-96 win at the Phoenix Suns Friday. Miami had 3 players score 20 or more points but its defense won the game. The Heat held the Suns to 26.1% shooting from the 3-point range and 41.5% shooting from the floor.

Nets at Heat picks and predictions
Prediction
Nets 113, Heat 107
Moneyline
BET NETS -(160).
The Nets are the better team and with them winning 9 of their last 10 games they are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now. Brooklyn has no significant injuries and has 2 superstars playing at a phenomenal level with role players meshing well. The Heat are a solid and well-coached team, but they will be no match for the Nets right now.
Against the spread
BET NETS -4.5 (-102).
The Nets are the better and hotter team in this matchup when coupled with recent trends this becomes a solid bet. The Nets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. an opponent with a winning record and are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games on the road vs. a team with a winning home record. The Heat are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning record — a streak that will continue Sunday.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 222.5 (-105).
All recent trends for both teams point to the Under as the much safer bet, but I wouldn’t bet a full unit on it because of the sheer scoring talent on both sides. The Under is 5-1 in the last 6 Heat games following a win and is 7-1 in their last 8 games playing on 1 day of rest. The Under is 4-0 in the Nets’ last 4 road games and is 4-1 in their last 5 overall games.
