Warriors at Heat picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 108, Heat 104

Moneyline

In their 1st meeting this season (Dec. 28), the Heat won 114-102 in San Francisco as 6.5-point underdogs behind 26 points from Herro. In that game, G Stephen Curry shot only 3 for 15 and had 13 points, and F Draymond Green did not play.

This time around, Golden State (-135) is healthy, and Miami will be without Herro and Robinson.

The Warriors are 5-3 in their last 8 road games. The Heat have lost 3 of their last 4 home games.

I like the Warriors as the road favorites, and the odds at -135 are fine, but the spread odds are slightly better.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Heat are 1-7 ATS as home underdogs this season.

The Warriors are 11-4 ATS when favored on the road.

With only a 1.5-point spread, this is pretty easy.

BET WARRIORS -1.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The total in the Dec. 28 meeting was 216 points.

The Heat have gone 9 straight games without a total reaching 219.

The Warriors' last 5 games, and 8 of their last 10, all have had totals of at least 219.

Miami's opponents have scored more than 110 points only twice in its last 10 games.

BET UNDER 218.5 (-115).
