Miami Heat vs Golden State Warriors Key Stats

The Golden State Warriors are, to no surprise, led by Steph Curry and his offensive production. Averaging 30.3 points per game on 45.8 FG%, Curry has started the season right where he left off last year in the Finals.

As a full-unit, the Warriors have maintained their high-octane production with Poole, Thompson, and Wiggins all playing their parts. Thompson was ejected in the second-half of a tough loss to the Suns and will be playing with a chip on his shoulder tonight.

Keep an eye out for Thompson and Curry for explosive showings tonight as the two veterans look to get the rest of the team back on track. Last season, the Warriors were 29-19-2 against the spread as home favorites. Keep in mind that they were without the fully healthy roster that they now have fit again.

Jimmy Butler is the main shot-caller for Miami as he leads the Heat in scoring with 21.8 points per game. Butler and Bam Adebayo make Miami a tough defensive puzzle to crack, and Golden State will have their work cut out for them with these two. Butler will likely try to lock up Steph on defensive possession, and Bam will give a tough battle for rebounds.

Looney and Wiggins will have a physical night in the paint. The Heat have been struggling with rotations while Tyler Herro sneaks into the starting lineup. The Heat don't have as much depth on the bench anymore and that will likely continue to be a tough factor against a fast-paced Warriors team. Golden State ranks first in pace while the Heat play a slow, defensive pace and rank 26th.

Miami Heat vs Golden State Warriors Betting Prediction

The Warriors will be on a mission to get the Chase Center crowd pumped up in the early minutes. Given the tough defense from Miami, total points will slowly tally.

Miami is one of the worst teams when it comes to turnovers, and the Warriors will make opportunities count from there. The Warriors will manage to keep a strong lead for most of this game.

Prediction: Golden State Warriors -6.5 (-104), Under 227 (-112)
