The Brooklyn Nets will lock horns with the Miami Heat in a battle of Eastern Conference heavyweights at the FTX Arena on Saturday, Mar. 26. The Heat have won all three of their meetings this season.
The Nets are coming off a disappointing 132-120 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Kyrie Irving continued his brilliance with a 43-point performance. Kevin Durant also looked to be in great offensive flow, bagging 35 points, eight assists and 11 rebounds. However, that was not enough to beat the Grizzlies on the night.

Meanwhile, the Heat's run of poor form continued, as they lost 111-103 to the New York Knicks on Friday, despite Jimmy Butler scoring 30 points.
They had a solid 17-point lead, but a defensive collapse in the fourth quarter led to a disappointing loss for the Heat. Youngster Immanuel Quickley scored 20 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter to inspire the Knicks to a win.

Miami Heat Preview
The Miami Heat (47-27) have a lot of concerns to address, but they continue to lead the East. Jimmy Butler cleared the air around his situation with coach Erik Spoelstra and Udonis Haslem, which is a huge positive for the team.
The Heat have lost three games in a row, and another loss would cost them their top place. With just eight games left, they will look to regain their mojo and arrive in the postseason by finishing as the top seed in the East.
