The Heat are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Saturday games. The Nets are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 games playing on 0 days rest. The over is 5-1 in Heat last 6 overall. The over is 11-1 in Nets last 12 overall. The Heat are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Brooklyn and 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

The Brooklyn Nets are the better team here and should have a rested Durant, but they’re also a club that hasn’t played a lick of defense up to this point and just lost back to back games to the Cavaliers. I’m not laying big chalk with the Nets until they show an improved effort on defense. Also, both teams are on the end of a back to back, so this has the potential to be an ugly, sloppy contest with tired legs. Give me the points.
