The Miami Heat will travel to Barclays Center on Thursday night to face the Brooklyn Nets in an Eastern Conference matchup in the NBA.

Miami remains the stronger team on paper, but their current form makes it hard to trust the Heat to win by any sort of margin, especially on the road. I'm going to take the points with the Nets in this matchup, as they should be able to stay competitive and continue to play some improved basketball behind another high-scoring performance from Michael Porter Jr.
