Game Preview

Golden State opened their tour through the West with a loss in Atlanta to the Hawks, 124-115. Steph Curry didn’t play, which was immediately felt on the floor. Even though the Warriors scored 16 threes in 38 attempts, they couldn’t win.

Jimmy Butler scored a team-high 25 points, shooting 1-for-7 from downtown. Manuel Moody added 20 points, and Brad Podziemski had 19.

The Miami Heat played routinely against the Charlotte Hornets, beating the rivals from North Carolina 122-105. It was Andrew Wiggins’s night, with the former No.1 pick dropping 42 points, his second-best scoring production in the NBA.

After 10 losses, this was the first win for the franchise from Florida. Their worst stretch this year, in the worst possible time.

Warriors vs. Heat Betting Trends

  • Warriors are 14-3 STRAIGHT UP in the last 17 games.
  • Golden State is 1-4 AGAINST THE SPREAD in the previous 5 events.
  • Miami Heat are 1-10 STRAIGHT UP over the latest 11 contests.
  • The TOTAL was UNDER in 8 of the Heat’s previous 12 matches.

Warriors vs. Heat Head to Head

The Heat won their first meeting of the year in San Francisco, 114-98, in early January. Nikola Jovic led the Heat with 20 points off the bench.

Warriors vs. Heat Predictions

Miami is in terrible shape, while on the other side, the Warriors are much better. Things will be much easier for the Dub Nation if Steph Curry hits the floor. Though, even if that doesn’t happen, we pick the guests to win.
