Tonight, with only two games in the NBA, we’ve got just one bet. Our wager is on the Brooklyn Nets at +3.5 against the Miami Heat. The Nets will be without Ben Simmons and Cam Thomas. Ben Simmons leads the team in assists and rebounds. Say what you want about Simmons, but he’s a stout defender of all five positions. Thomas, the team’s leading scorer, has missed the last three games with a legit ankle sprain. However, even without these two players, this Brooklyn team is playing well. The Nets hold a 7th ranked offense, and a 16th ranked defense. The edge that this Nets team has is their elite play around the perimeter. Brooklyn is currently top five in three pointers attempted, three pointers made, three point percentage, and three point percentage allowed on defense. Miami is a team that doesn’t shoot, or defend three point shooters well. The Heat are allowing the 3rd worst percentage (38.6%) from three point range this season. This looks to be a tough matchup for Miami. Our wager is a half unit on the Nets +3.5.
