The Warriors are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Heat are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The under is 6-2 in Warriors last 8 overall. The over is 5-2 in Heat last 7 Thursday games. The Warriors are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Miami and 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
The Golden State Warriors are about as healthy as they’ve been in a while, but they continue to pile up the losses, and they’re losing their last five games by an average of 8.4 points while allowing 50 percent shooting from the field. The Miami Heat are on the end of a back to back, but they looked great defensively against the Pacers and we’ll see the debut of Victor Oladipo in this contest. The Heat should start to make their run. I’ll lay the bucket.
