Miami Heat vs Golden State Warriors Prediction

I don’t want to back the Heat as much as the next guy. The Heat lost by a million at home to a horrible Jazz team, and they just lost to the Kings last night despite having a 19-point lead at one point. The Heat then lost multiple leads in overtime. The Heat are also dealing with the Jimmy Butler nonsense and now are on the end of a back-to-back despite playing double overtime. It would surprise nobody to see the Heat roll over like a dog due to mental and physical fatigue. With all that said, the Warriors have been hit or miss this season, and they’re 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games. Also, the Warriors are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games when favorites of 8 or more points. Just because the Heat have their issues doesn’t mean we throw all of these points in the Warriors direction. It’s Heat or pass for me.
