Brooklyn Nets at Miami Heat
[h=1]Pick: Heat -10[/h]In this Eastern Conference showdown you’ve got the Nets traveling to Miami after a three game home stand where they actually went 2-1, with wins over Cleveland and Indiana. Including those games, the Nets are still just 3-7 over their last 10; with the other win coming at home against lowly Philadelphia. This season, the Nets are 7-27 on the road, and their only consistent source of production comes from veterans Brook Lopez and Thaddeus Young. They don’t do anything particularly well as a team, and are ranked 27[SUP]th[/SUP] in the NBA in ppg, while rank 22[SUP]nd[/SUP] in ppg given up. The Heat come into this one having won 6 of their last 10 games, and most recently won by 11 at home against Orlando. They are 24-13 at home this season, and are 19-17 ATS during that span. Everyone knows Bosh is out with blood clots, but I think that we can expect a huge game from Joe Johnson going up against his former team. I’m looking forward to a battle down low between Whiteside and Lopez, and I think Whiteside ends up getting the better end of that one. Take Miami to cover the 10-point spread.
