It’s Friday, February 7, and the Miami Heat (25-24) and Brooklyn Nets (17-34) are all set to square off from Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
The Jimmy Butler saga is over, and the Heat move forward with Andrew Wiggins and a handful of additional complimentary pieces. That said, Tyler Herro and co. had handled the drama well winning four of their last six. Brooklyn has lost two straight including 119-102 Wednesday night at home to the lowly Washington Wizards. Can they lose enough to finish with a Bottom 3 record in the NBA? The race is on.
The Heat are currently 12-14 on the road with a point differential of 0, while the Nets have a 1-9 record in their last ten games at home.
