Heat vs Nets NBA live stream reddit for Jan. 23

The Nets are looking for a victory against the Heat after a rough two games in Cleveland. 

All eyes were on the Brooklyn Nets and their Big 3 debut this week after they made the blockbuster trade to acquire James Harden. All those eyes saw the Nets fall twice to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The two losses should be a wake-up call for a Nets team that can’t rely on the talent of the star trio alone. They are looking to turn their fortune around Saturday night against a struggling Miami Heat squad.

The Heat are 6-8 on the year and just got blown out against the Toronto Raptors. Jimmy Butler has only played in six games due to COVID-19 protocols and Tyler Herro has not played since January 14. This is not the start the team had in mind after making the NBA Finals back in October.

But they can quickly turn things around with a win Saturday. Brooklyn traded away Jarrett Allen and proceeded to get dominated in the paint by Allen and the rest of Cleveland’s bigs upon Harden’s arrival. The Heat and Bam Adebayo should exploit this weakness all night.

The Heat only managed to score 81 points Friday night against the Raptors. A matchup against the Nets should realistically mean a better scoring night, but key absences will loom large.

Brooklyn wants to get that first win with Harden and prove they are just fine. Another loss may have fans spiraling after what was supposed to be an exciting week.
