The 40-34 Miami Heat have yet another big game set to play tonight at home against the 39-34 Brooklyn Nets. Miami has won 7 of their last 10 games and just surpassed the Nets in the standings as the sixth seed. They can add a little bit more breathing room with a win tonight. The Heat can expand their .5 game lead to 1.5 and inch a little closer to even snagging the 5th seed from the New York Knicks.
If last game’s matchup against the Knicks was considered a must-win, then this was has to be as well, and then some.
