The Brooklyn Nets will try to break an eight-game losing streak as they visit the Miami Heat tonight.
Miami is playing better since the return of one of its star players, which is why I’m taking the home team to cover in my Nets vs. Heat predictions.
Let’s break down this matchup and see how bettors should approach it with my free NBA picks for Tuesday, March 3.
Nets vs Heat prediction
Nets vs Heat best bet: Heat -13 (-110)
The Miami Heat have won four of their last six games and are 6-3 against the spread in their last nine.
That’s more than enough to give them a leg up on the hapless Brooklyn Nets, who have lost eight in a row and only covered once in that span, losing five games by double figures.
The Heat have Tyler Herro (21.0 points per game) back in the lineup, further widening the talent gap between these teams. Brooklyn is by far the lowest-scoring team in the league (107.0 PPG) and won’t be able to keep up with Miami tonight.

Nets vs Heat same-game parlay
One reason I like the Heat to win in a blowout tonight is Herro's recent return, who should play a big role for Miami tonight. I’ll take Herro to hit the Over on both his points and assists totals, as he’s averaging 21 PPG and has dished out at least six assists in three of his last four games.

Our "from downtown" SGP: The Heat Go Big
Along with my bets on Herro, I’m going to target two other Miami players to hit their props to bring in a long-shot SGP. That means taking Bam Adebayo to record his third straight double-double, along with picking Kel’el Ware to hit at least one 3-pointer, something the big man has done in eight straight games.
