Miami Heat vs Golden State Warriors preview

The Miami Heat endured a heavy defeat to the LA Lakers in their last game. After a strong performance against the San Antonio Spurs, the Heat were favorites to secure a victory, but were downed by a superb display from Cole Swider. However, Miami was without Pelle Larsson, as their hero from the first game was rested by the coach.

Big man Kel'el Ware continued to lead the team against the Lakers, with the sophomore recording 12 points and four rebounds. Meanwhile, rookie Kasparas Jakucionis had a frustrating evening after missing all of his six attempts at the board.

On the other hand, the Warriors were unable to earn back-to-back wins after a close two-point loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Entering the break with the lead, Golden State was unable to hold on to it, as David Jones-Garcia led his team with a 25-point performance.

L.J. Cryer was the leading scorer for the Warriors on the night with 19 points, while Isaiah Mobley and Will Richard recorded 16 points each. However, another Warriors rookie, Alex Toohey, was an unused sub due to a coach's decision.

Miami Heat vs Golden State Warriors prediction

Despite the Warriors' home court advantage, the Miami Heat roster bears more starlets and should be able to get the win. With Pelle Larsson rested in the last game he should be starting against the Warriors and lead them to victory.
