The Golden State Warriors are back in one of those funks, and now they’re on the end of a back to back where some of their guys like to rest. The Miami Heat should be close to full strength, they need to keep winning to inch closer toward the top seed in the East, and they win at home by an average of 5.9 points. This is a steep line, but the Heat have the ability to open things up against teams they respect. I expect a solid 48 minutes from the home team. I’ll lay the points.
