The Nets head to Miami for a quick, one-game road trip Thursday. After Wednesday's OT loss in Atlanta, the Heat have the worst record in the Eastern Conference at 7-18, and they actually have a worse home record than the Nets: 3-8. Boki Nachbar is questionable with his sprained right ankle, Alonzo Mourning is likely out three months or more after tearing the patellar tendon in his right knee against the Hawks, and Josh Boone will have to deal with the Diesel in his second career start. After traveling home to California to deal with a family issue, Jason Kidd will be in the lineup.
