The last time I had the Brooklyn Nets as part of my same game parlay I landed a +2851 winner. Tonight I’m doing another bet on the Nets as they face the Miami Heat in South Beach. Tip-off is set for 8 pm ET on NBA TV, continue reading below to see my bet.
We also have predictions on the side and total for rest of Saturday’s action, make sure you check those out as well.
Let’s get into the Nets vs Heat clash now!
Brooklyn Nets 1-10 win margin (+175)
Kevin Durant to score 35+ points (+250)
Kyrie Irving 4+ made threes (+110)
Parlay odds: +1965
Brooklyn Nets 1-10 win margin (+175)
The way that the Miami Heat are playing right now, they don’t seem to be really interested in finishing 1st in the East and potentially facing Brooklyn in the 1st round of the Playoffs. They just lost their 3rd game in a row to a team without their best player and are only 0.5 games ahead of the Bucks and 76ers in the standings. Brooklyn is trying to win every game it can in order to move up the standings, so I have the Nets winning on the road yet again. They are 6-2 SU in their last 8 games and have also beaten 4 of their last 5 opponents from the Eastern Conference.

Kevin Durant to score 35+ points (+250)
I was thinking between this bet and Durant to have 8+ assists; in the end I opted for the points for the simple fact that Goran Dragic will most likely be back in the lineup and handle most of the distributing for Brooklyn. KD has been on a scoring tear lately, averaging 31.2 points per game over his last 10 outings on 53.4% shooting from the field, 38.3% from the 3-point line, and 93.4% from the charity stripe. He has scored 35 or more points in 3 games in a row — 2 of them were against very solid defensive teams in Utah and Memphis. Brooklyn puts up a ton of points in road games, as its last 9 of 11 away from home have all gone over the total. So if tonight’s game goes in that direction, I expect KD to fill it up once again.
Kyrie Irving 4+ made threes (+110)
Just like his partner in crime KD, Irving has been on fire over his last 5 games averaging nearly 40 points per game. He is shooting just under 59% from the field, 57.7% from 3-point land, and nearly 90% from the free-throw line. Those type of numbers have never been seen in NBA history before; he just had 43 points on his birthday against the Memphis Grizzlies and the game before that he dropped 60 on the Orlando Magic. He is making 6 treys per game this month on 10.4 attempts per game, he has over 4 threes in 4 games in a row, and if he puts his mind to it he can do it again tonight against the Heat. Miami’s defense on the perimeter has been poor lately; it is allowing opponents to make 38.2% of shots from three — something Irving can definitely exploit.
