The Miami Heat (13-13) will welcome the Brooklyn Nets (11-17) to the Kaseya Center on Tuesday in NBA action. The Heat are sixth in the Eastern Conference, while the Nets are 11th. Here's our match prediction. 

Following an impressive stretch that saw the Miami Heat record four consecutive wins, the spark has long faded as they head into this clash, riding a three-match losing streak. 
 
Their most recent defeat was against the Orlando Magic, which they lost 121-114 away from home on Sunday. Jimmy Butler, who suffered an ankle injury against the Thunder, didn't take part in that defeat and remains questionable for this one. 
 
The Heat have been turning heads at the Kaseya Center winning five of their last six matches. It’s also worth mentioning that they were on a five-match winning streak before their recent defeat against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
 
The Brooklyn Nets failed to secure their second consecutive win after suffering a 105-94 defeat against the Utah Jazz in front of their home crowd. This comes after halting a three-match losing streak courtesy of a 101-94 triumph over the Toronto Raptors. 
 
The Nets have now lost seven of their last nine outings. However, their away form has been promising with four wins in their last six games. They should be able to build on this momentum and secure their second consecutive win on the road.
