The Brooklyn Nets are in the midst of the best stretch of their season yet. The team has turned a new leaf in the new year, currently on a five-game win streak. The team is remaining positive after point guard Deron Williams suffered a recent injury setback and they hope to continue their winning ways against the Miami Heat.

The Brooklyn Nets had been the laughing stock of the NBA. With the highest payroll of any team in the league, they have only managed a 14-21 record, sitting in the basement of the Atlantic Division. Jason Kidd's job status has come under fire. They underwent drama with assistant Lawrence Frank. Brook Lopez has been lost for the year. But all of that is slowly being put behind them as they start to string together some wins.

Joe Johnson has been a man on a mission lately. He put up 27 points against the Golden State Warriors. Kevin Garnett helped out but getting 13 points while Andray Blatche had 17 points off the bench. The Nets have won their last four games at home, which could serve them well against the Miami Heat.

The Heat are looking to bounce back after falling to the New York Knicks and ending their three-game win streak. Despite LeBron James putting up 32 points and Dwyane Wade adding 23, they could not get it done. Injuries certainly hurt as Mario Chalmers sits out with a right Achilles strain and Shane Battier missed the fourth quarter with a quad injury. The status of both players is unknown for Friday's game.

The Nets won the last matchup against the Miami Heat. The team oulled out a 101-100 victory back in November. Johnson had 19 points as did Paul Pierce before the Nets started their downward spiral. James recorded 26 points in that game. The Nets hope to keep their winning ways going and catch the Heat while their down.
