Miami Heat DFS Spin
Goran Dragic (bruised right foot) is probable for Monday’s game vs. the Nets. Jimmy Butler and Avery Bradley have already been ruled out due to health and safety protocols, so Dragic should once again be very busy if he plays. The Heat don’t want to play him a ton of minutes, but 30+ seems like a safe bet until Miami gets some healthy bodies back in the rotation.
Brooklyn Nets DFS Spin
James Harden shot just 2-of-8 from the field in Saturday’s win over the Heat, scoring 12 points to go along with seven rebounds and 11 assists in 38 minutes. The good news for Harden is that he put up good assist and rebounding numbers. The bad news: he needed the foul line to reach double figures in points, going 8-of-9 from the charity stripe while he missed all vie of his 3-point attempts. This is all going to be a balancing act, as the Nets get used to having Harden, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving on the court together. The Beard will remain one of the top guards in fantasy basketball, but his value may slip a little in Brooklyn.
Heat vs. Nets Betting Prediction
The over is 3-1-1 in the last five meetings between these two teams in Brooklyn and is 3-0-1 in the last four meetings overall. The over is also 7-3 in the Heat’s last 10 road games, is 5-2 in their last seven games as a road underdog and has cashed in six of their last eight games overall. On the other side, the over is a perfect 8-0 in the Nets’ last eight games as a favorite, is 8-0 in their last eight home games and is 11-0 in their last 11 games after scoring 100 points or more in their previous contest.
