And they've shown they can do that throughout the season. However, if Miami turns up the defensive pressure, and the refs aren't calling a tight game, New Jersey will have trouble scoring enough to win, and may not even cover with the 2.5 points. Otherwise, I feel the Nets have a good shot here to at least play a close game maybe win outright. But is +2.5 enough? Wouldn't +4.5 feel a lot better at (-150). Will Nets score 95 in this game? Will they score 100? Do you think Miami turns up the defense like we know they can, and what they like to do on the road in big games. I'm leaning towards taking Nets +4.5 (-150) and over the 187.5 (-110) and parlaying it with Spurs -4 (-110).
Nets +4.5 (-150)
over 187.5 (-110)
Spurs -4 (-110)
$100 pays $500
or do I take Nets +2.5 instead and make $100 to win $600
