The Brooklyn Nets
This is it. The grande finale, the main event. Live from Brooklyn, New York.
For one or both of these teams, this April 10th matchup between the Miami Heat and the Brooklyn Nets is almost sure to make or break somebody’s season.
With the exception of sharpshooter Allen Crabbe, who will miss the rest of the regular season and playoffs, the Nets will have all hands on deck and be at full strength. With Josh Richardson out for the next two weeks and Derrick Jones Jr. on the injury report, the Heat, on the other hand, will be at a health and availability disadvantage while playing on the road against a Nets team sure to be desperate for a win.
This will be the fourth matchup between the Miami Heat and the Brooklyn Nets. The Heat have two wins and a loss, with a 120-107 victory in Brooklyn on November 14th, a Brooklyn win at Miami on November 20th by a 104-92 margin, and a 117-88 Heat victory in Miami on March 2nd.
Needless to say, this will be by far the biggest of the four games between these teams. There is a strong possibility that the winner will make the playoffs, and the loser will go home for the summer.
