The Miami Heat look for the 3-0 season series sweep against the Brooklyn Nets in this finale on Friday night.
It’s been a wild NBA trade deadline once again and the Miami Heat were a huge reason for that. Well Jimmy Butler was a huge reason for that is a better way to phrase it. Butler demanded a trade once again from his team and Miami acquiesced sending him to team up with Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors in return for trade between five teams headed by Andrew Wiggins by to the Heat. Miami also received Kyle Anderson, P.J. Tucker, Davion Mitchell and a 2025 first-round pick. It is a huge loss for the Heat but Butler was checked out of Miami for a while and the Warriors don’t win the 2022 Finals without Wiggins.

Ironically, Wiggins will wear Butler’s No. 22 when he is expected to start for the Heat on Monday against the Boston Celtics and not against the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night. Miami is coming off a 108-101 win on the road against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. Tyler Herro led the Heat with 30 and Bam Adebayo added 18 points with 13 rebounds. Nikola Jovic scored an impressive 23 points off the bench. This is still going to be a good Miami team even in the post-Butler era.
The Nets are trying to bounce back from a surprising 119-102 loss at home against the struggling Washington Wizards on Wednesday. It was just the ninth win of the season for the Wizards compared to 41 losses. Keon Johnson still had a good night for the Nets scoring a game-high 25 points. The loss ended a three-game winning streak for Brooklyn. Subsequently, Miami is favored by 6.5 points on the road tonight.
