In their dominant victory over the Indiana Pacers last time out, the Miami Heat put the rest of the Eastern Conference on notice. Not only did they move to 27-10 on the year despite dealing with the adversity created by multiple injuries to starters and rotational players, but Jimmy Butler made something blatantly obvious in his mid-game spat with T.J. Warren: this team is gritty and isn’t messing around. His post-game comments reaffirmed that point (and blew up on NBA Twitter, of course). Miami enters this game against the Brooklyn Nets as a slight road favorite, which spells trouble for the home team: 

  • The Heat are 20-2 straight-up as a favorite this season. 

In other words, they’ve taken care of business when they’ve been expected to.
