The Nets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Heat are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games and 7-15 ATS in their last 22 games overall. The under is 7-3 in Nets last 10 games playing on 1 days rest. The over is 5-2 in Heat last 7 overall. The under is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings.

The Brooklyn Nets continue to head in the wrong direction, and that includes losing their last 5 games by an average of 6.6 points. The Miami Heat are quietly playing their best ball of the season over these last two weeks, and their offensive numbers have improved dramatically. Also, the Heat needs to take advantage of these games if they’re going to keep improving their potential playoff seed. I’ll lay the chalk.
