The Miami Heat host the Brooklyn Nets tonight in a crucial Eastern Conference matchup. The Heat have lost three straight games and are in danger of losing the No. 1 seed in the East. Brooklyn will have Kyrie Irving back on a full-time basis, which makes them as dangerous as ever. For a full preview of tonight's games, Reed Wallach has you covered.

Away from the actual game, let's look at some of my favorite props WynnBET is offering for tonight's game.

Best Prop Bets for Nets vs. Heat

  • Bruce Brown OVER 5.5 Rebounds (-125)
  • Kevin Durant OVER 28.5 Points (-125)
  • Kevin Durant OVER 6.5 Assists (-115)

Bruce Brown OVER 5.5 Rebounds (-125)

Bruce Brown has cleared this line in his last three games and four of his last six. The two games that he missed this line in, he missed by one rebound. Brown is a do-it-all guy for the Nets and is always around the basketball. With the Heat struggling to put their best foot forward right now, I see this as an opportunity for Brown to get some ugly rebounds and fill up the stat sheet. 

Kevin Durant OVER 28.5 Points (-125)

Durant’s cleared this line in his last three games and has done it easily. He’s the best scorer in the NBA and will have no issue shooting over P.J. Tucker or Jimmy Butler. Durant has also taken seven threes in each of his last two games, which is new for a player who works primarily in the midrange. If Durant decides to extend his range tonight and bomb from deep, it will be a long night for Miami. 

Kevin Durant OVER 6.5 Assists (-115)

Durant has cleared this line in seven of his last nine games. With Kyrie Irving on the floor, there is another player of Durant's skill that can get buckets like him. Durant isn't going to force the issue at all and might let Irving do most of the heavy lifting. Durant has been hovering around this number for the better part of three weeks, so I'll trust him tonight against a struggling Heat team.
