The Brooklyn Nets take on the Miami Heat in an important Eastern Conference clash. For the Nets, their loss against the 76ers was a bitter one, as they missed the opportunity to surpass them in the seeding. However, they are still the number two seed in the East, and one of the strongest contenders to win the NBA championship with stars like Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving.

The Miami Heat, on the other hand, have been able to turn their poor start around. They are currently the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference. Jimmy Butler has been having a good season quietly. However, they still haven’t been able to break into a confirmed playoff seed. The Heat will be looking to move to a top-six seed before the end of the season.

With that in mind, let us take a look at the Brooklyn Nets taking on the Miami Heat.
