Randy’s Pick
These are two banged up teams, so it’s important to check the injury report before placing a bet. The Heat are down Caleb Martin and Haywood Highsmith, and Jimmy Butler could be out as well. For the Nets, Spencer Dinwiddie and Dennis Smith Jr. are doubtful, while Dariq Whitehead and Nic Claxton are questionable. Cameron Johnson is out for a couple of weeks. With all that said, the Heat and their injuries don’t help an offense that is stuck in the mud. Hard to lay chalk given their current situation. It’s the Nets and the points or pass for me.
