Betting on the Miami Heat
- Regular Season Record: 32-25
Physical issues continue to plague the Miami Heat, who have remained firmly in their positions with the golden tickets to the postseason, sitting sixth in the Eastern Conference. They are also only 1.5 games behind the fifth-placed team, which will be their opponent in this game.
Although they have had to deal with injuries to key players, the Heat come here with four wins in a row and only three losses in their last ten games. They beat the Denver Nuggets in their previous game, but going on the road now does not bode well for them.
The team from Florida has not been particularly strong as a visitor, leaving a record of 13 wins and 16 losses. And, although its defense has looked pretty solid, averaging 109.2 points per game, the same cannot be said for its offense, which has averaged 107.0 points away from home.
Betting on the Brooklyn Nets
- Regular Season Record: 33-23
While they have had a very decent season, now the Brooklyn Nets are practically a new team given that they will have to compete without Durant and Irving, so staying within the top six in the standings seems to be a very tough challenge for them.
Although they haven’t put together great results, the Nets haven’t done too badly in recent weeks, so things will most likely start to look up for them in the coming days as Spencer Dinwiddie, who returned to the team in the Irving trade, gets a better rapport with the rest of his teammates.
This could be a good opportunity to start showing that adjustment, as the Nets have performed well at home this campaign, averaging 111.0 points allowed and 115.2 points scored per game.
JefeBet Prediction
The Nets have never been very productive offensively, and now without Durant and Irving, those problems on offense will be more evident, so they will most likely struggle against the Heat, who are the second-best team in the league on defense and also tend to do well on the road.
However, the Nets have also shown strong defensive qualities recently, so they should have another good defensive performance at home against a visiting team that is the worst in the NBA offensively.
The previous clash between these teams was a sample of their defensive qualities and problems on offense, so we expect this match to have a similar development, with the defenses being the protagonists and leaving a scoreboard with few points.
Prediction: Under.
