Matchup: Miami Heat vs Brooklyn Nets
Date: 26th March 2022
Time: 8:00 pm ET
The Miami Heat host a resurgent Brooklyn Nets at the FTX Arena. The Nets have won 6 of their last 8 games, and are steadily attempting an ascent out of the Play-In positions. The Nets may have left it too late to succeed and guarantee themselves a playoff position, but the same is not true for the Miami Heat.
The Miami-based Eastern Conference leaders recently clinched their division. And also sit atop the Conference standings, albeit within range of at least 4th-ranking Boston Celtics. However, they have lost their last 3 games and need to get it together to stay on top.
Who won the last time they played?
The Brooklyn Nets started very strongly against the Miami Heat opening up a 12-point lead in the first quarter. Riding on the back of Kevin Durant’s 31 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists. Bruce Brown played perfect second fiddle by scoring 21 points. Goran Dragic led the Nets in assists by dishing out 7 dimes.
But the Heat made a superb comeback from 12 points down by firmly asserting themselves in the next 3 quarters. And winning all 3 quarters. Bam Adebayo excelled for the Heat by scoring 30 points and 11 rebounds. Tyler Herro put in another game-winning effort with his 27 points and 8 assists to help the Heat win 113-107.
Miami Heat vs Brooklyn Nets prediction
This is a tough one to call with both teams at relatively equal strength although the Heat will be without their dynamic 6th man, Tyler Herro. But is exactly that bench strength that will help the Nets overcome a struggling Heat.
The Brooklyn Nets will inflict the 4th straight loss on the Miami Heat.
