This is a 10* on OVER

Brooklyn and Miami tangle Saturday night in South Beach and for both teams it's the second night of a back to back. Any chance the Nets had of moving up in the Eastern Conference was basically dashed last week when it was announced Kyrie Irving would be out for the remainder of the season. Over the past five days, they've certainly played like a team that knows it has a limited ceiling. They've lost three times, giving up 115, 110 and 141 points. Last night had to be rock bottom as they gave up those 141 points to Atlanta. That they allowed one of the league's worst three-point shooting teams to go 19 of 39 is not a good sign. Miami isn't exactly playing good defense either. They've allowed an average of more than 120 points/game over the last six contests, all of which have gone Over. They did at least snap a two-game losing skid last night by beating Dallas 126-118. The Over is now 19-9 in Heat home games where they have gone 24-4 straight up. The Over is also 27-12 for Miami when they face a team that is allowing at least 106 points/game. Brooklyn allows 110.6 points/game and that number gets even worse on the road.
