Nets at Heat picks and predictions

Prediction

Heat 115, Nets 104

Moneyline

PASS.

The Heat (-500) are rightfully heavy favorites, but considering the value, they should be avoided to win outright. The Nets, who have lost 7 of their last 9 games, haven’t played well enough to assume they can pull off the upset.

Against the spread

BET HEAT -10.5 (-110).

The Heat have covered well at home as of late. They are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 at Kaseya Center and have wins over teams like Cleveland and Phoenix. Miami has scored at least 114 points in 5 of its last 6 at home, so it should have the firepower to pull ahead.

The Nets, down their leading scorer in Thomas, have scored 101 or fewer points in 3 straight games and are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 as favorites of 7 or greater. Considering those trends, back HEAT -10.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 212.5 (-115).

The Nets have gone Over in 3 of their last 5 games, and their defense has been a major problem, allowing 130 or more points in 2 of their last 4. Brooklyn is 3-2 O/U in its last 5 on the road.

The Heat are 5-2 O/U in their last 7 games and have scored at least 114 points in 6 of their last 7, allowing more than 100 in 6 in a row as well. Miami is 15-11 O/U on the season.

Play OVER 212.5 (-115).

Brooklyn Nets at Miami Heat odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Brooklyn Nets at Miami Heat odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Brooklyn Nets (1-2) and Miami Heat (1-3) square off Wednesday with tip-off from Kaseya Center set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Nets vs. Heat odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Brooklyn won 3-0 last year

The Nets secured their 1st victory of the season with a 133-121 victory at the Charlotte Hornets Monday. They dropped their 1st 2 games by a combined 6 points. F Mikal Bridges leads the squad with 20.7 points per game to go with 5.7 boards and 3.7 assists.

The Heat have gotten off to a slow start, and star F Jimmy Butler‘s knee tendonitis could be a microcosm of it. Butler is averaging 15.3 points, 7.3 boards and 3.7 assists while shooting just 32.5% from the floor. It’s the same knee that has bothered him for a couple of years, which is concerning. C Bam Adebayo (hip) missed the 122-114 loss to the Bucks Monday. Both are questionable Wednesday.

Nets at Heat picks and predictions

Prediction

Heat 105, Nets 103

Moneyline

The Heat have enough to win if 1 of Butler or Adebayo plays. G Tyler Herro dropped 35 points against Milwaukee and is emerging as a strong 3rd fiddle.

In any event, though, we’re not taking a struggling Heat team at -250. PASS.

Against the spread

As mentioned, the Nets only lost to the Dallas Mavericks and Cleveland Cavaliers by a combined 6 points. They’re a little short-handed, but it’s fair to say the Heat’s injury woes are more restrictive. The Nets are 3-0 ATS thus far, and the Heat are 1-3.

Take the NETS +6.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Over cashed in the last 2 meetings between the teams, but the totals were smaller than this one. The Over is 4-6 in the last 10 matchups. Wait until closer to tip to see if Butler and/or Adebayo are out. Either way, LEAN UNDER 222.5 (-110).

Brooklyn Nets at Miami Heat odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Brooklyn Nets at Miami Heat odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Brooklyn Nets (39-34) visit the Miami Heat (40-34) Saturday at Miami-Dade Arena. Tip is scheduled for 8 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 were tripped up 116-114 against the Cleveland Cavaliers Thursday, losing for the 2nd straight game to the Cavs and the 5th straight game overall. Brooklyn did grab the cover Thursday as a 3.5-point underdog, snapping an 0-4 against the streak (ATS) skid.

The Heat posted a 127-120 win over the New York Knicks Wednesday, cashing as a 2-point favorite as the Over (223.5) cashed. Miami has won 4 of its last 5 games and is 3-1 ATS in the past 4 outings. The Over is on a 5-2 run in the previous 7 contests for the Heat.

The Nets came away with a 116-105 win to cover a 1.5-point spread while the Over (209.5) cashed the last time these teams met on Feb 15 in Brooklyn. Miami was also tripped up 102-101 in the 1st regular-season meeting in South Florida, while the Under (223) cashed in that game.

Nets at Heat picks and predictions

Prediction

Heat 114, Nets 110

Moneyline

The Heat (-220) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s too risky in what should be a relatively close game. Miami is also dealing with some injuries to complementary players as well as Lowry and Martin.

While the Nets have been skidding lately, there is still plenty of risk backing the rather heavy favorite.

PASS.

Against the spread

BET NETS +5.5 (-110) in this road game, as Brooklyn has cashed in 5 of the past 6 games away from home. The Nets are also 4-0 ATS in the past 4 games against teams with a winning overall record.

The Heat have cashed in just 7 of the past 22 games overall while hitting in only 4 of the previous 13 games at home.

Over/Under

Play the OVER 221.5 (-115).

The Over has connected in 4 consecutive games for the Heat and is 5-2 in their past 7 games.

While the Under is 6-2 in the past 8 meetings with the Nets, the Over is 11-5 in the past 16 games for Brooklyn following a straight-up loss.

Brooklyn Nets at Miami Heat odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Brooklyn Nets at Miami Heat odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

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.

Analyzing Saturday’s Brooklyn Nets at Miami Heat and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Brooklyn Nets (38-35) visit South Beach Saturday to play the first-place Miami Heat (47-27). Tip-off at the FTX Arena is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Bulls vs. Heat odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

Brooklyn is 4-2 straight up (SU) and 3-3 against the spread (ATS) in the last six games but lost to the Grizzlies 132-120 in Memphis Wednesday.

The Heat are going for a season sweep of the Nets. Miami is 2-1 ATS vs. the Brooklyn in the first three games with an 1-2 Over/Under record.

Nets at Heat odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 119, Heat 108

Money line

PASS.

I’m confident enough in Brooklyn to lay the points instead of betting a pricey Nets (-200) ML.

However, things in Miami are becoming a little unglued because the Heat have dealt with injuries and haven’t built continuity.

Whereas things in Brooklyn are forging thanks to New York City changing its vaccine policy and PF Kevin Durant turning it up down the stretch.

KD is probably the best player on the planet. In 10 games since returning from an injury March 3, he is averaging 30.5 points on 54.4% shooting with 7.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game.

Durant, PF Kyrie Irving and the Nets, at nearly full strength, should overwhelm the Heat, but I’d rather lay the points.

PLAY: Free, daily sports pick’em contests. Play now!

Against the spread

BET the NETS -4.5 (-120) for 1 unit.

The Heat have the worst ATS margin over the past two weeks, according to CleaningTheGlass.com (CTG) and have lost six straight ATS.

Also, Miami’s victory over the Nets in Brooklyn earlier this month was a tough beat for Nets backers. Brooklyn led by as many as 16 points and was outscored 53-40 in the second half.

Given each teams’ current form and Brooklyn’s motivation to get out of the play-in territory, I’ll TAKE the NETS -4.5 (-120).

Over/Under

LEAN to the UNDER 229.5 (-107) since this total has been steamed up from 227.5 and everyone is betting the Over, according to Pregame.com.

However, the Nets are 4-1 O/U in the last five games and Brooklyn, with KD and Kyrie on the floor together, is a scary offense. Also, Miami is 4-0 O/U in the last four games despite struggling on offense lately.

Hence, only a LEAN to the UNDER 229.5 (-107).

Nets at Heat odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Heat 112, Nets 98

Money line

PASS.

Miami is obviously the right side but the Heat are far too expensive at this price and the Nets are a stay-away until Durant returns.

KD has missed every game since Jan. 17 with a knee injury and Brooklyn is 2-11 SU since then with a minus-10.4 adjusted net rating (ranked 28th) and a minus-5.2 ATS margin (ranked last), according to CleaningTheGlass.com (CTG).

The Heat are 9-4 SU with a plus-9.0 adjusted net rating (ranked third) and plus-2.2 ATS margin (ranked sixth) across that same span.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to the HEAT -10.5 (-115) for a small wager, if at all, because my favorite play in this game is the Under Brooklyn team total.

However, Miami’s vibrant night-life gives the Heat a bigger home-court advantage for weekend games and Miami is 7-3 ATS at home versus teams with a winning record.

That said, this is mostly a fade against a Nets team that’s been awful lately and could be without the new pieces acquired from the James Harden trade.

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the UNDER 215.5 (-110) since the Heat play at a snail’s pace and their defense has been locked in over the past two weeks. Miami has the second-best adjusted defensive rating in the last 14 days, per CTG.

However, my favorite bet in this game is the UNDER NETS 105.5 TEAM TOTAL (-122) because of Brooklyn’s missing pieces and Miami’s elite defense.

The Nets are 24th in adjusted offensive rating over the past two weeks (per CTG) and have gone Under their team total in four of their last five games, according to EVAnalytics.com.

Miami has also held opponents to just 94.3 points per game over the last three games (ranked second) and held Brooklyn to just 93 points in their first meeting this season.

Again, UNDER NETS 105.5 TEAM TOTAL (-122) is my favorite bet in this game but there’s still some value in the Under 215.5 (-110) for the game.

Nets at Heat: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Nets 119, Heat 110

The Nets (-250) will cost you two and a half times your potential return, which is expensive, particularly on a road team.

PASS, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread (ATS)

The NETS -5.5 (-115) are a better play laying the number against the Heat, who enter on a three-game skid.
