Miami Heat vs. Golden State Warriors Betting Preview
The Heat come into this game with matching 9-6 records at home and on the road. That bodes well for a postseason run, where you have to win games on the run. Speaking of postseason runs, this is a team that lost in the NBA Finals a season ago. There is a chance Miami Heat players could still be feeling the effects of that long run.
The Miami Heat are led by Bam Adebayo. The big man is scoring 22 points per game. Jaime Jaquez is having an outstanding rookie season for the Heat. He scored 31 in the Christmas Day win over Philadelphia. On the season, he is up to over 13.6 points per game. Jimmy Butler has been in and out of the lineup with injuries, at 21.5 per game.
Miami is starting a five-game road trip that takes them to Utah, Los Angeles twice, and Phoenix before they play at home again on January 8th.
When looking at the Golden State Warriors injury report, there are none of the big names. But, mostly because the suspension of Draymond Green is not an injury. Green has been a big loss for the Warriors, especially with his size and toughness.
Steph Curry and Klay Thompson are both having fine seasons with the veteran Chris Paul coming in off the bench. Curry is scoring just shy of 28 points per game, while Thompson is at 17.3 per game. Paul is scoring 8.3 points, and dishing out 7.6 assists in more than 27 minutes per game.
Brandin Podziemski has been fun for the Warriors. He now has started 7 games and is up to nearly 9 points per game.
Miami Heat vs. Golden State Warriors Betting Prediction
When push comes to shove here, the Golden State Warriors need this one more than the Miami Heat. The Heat are in a good spot, as they start their trip out West. The Warriors season seems to be teetering more often than not. The veterans just have not come through like they needed to so far for the Warriors, and guys in and out of the lineup has been an issue.
The Warriors can still shoot the basketball, and score. Look for Golden State to get some shots to fall, and they come away with an important home win here just before New Years. The Warriors -2 is the bet in this game. Take Golden State -2.NBA Picks and Predictions!
