Warriors vs Heat prediction
It’s hard to give a confident pick when the Heat won’t have Robinson and have a questionable Martin and Jaquez Jr. Check the injury report before locking in anything for this game. With that said, we’re getting a free bucket with the Heat at home. While you can argue this game is important for the Warriors to stay in the 10th seed in the West, the Heat are fighting to get a top-6 seed in the East to avoid the play-in tournament. The Heat are also coming off a beat down of the Cavs, and they usually play their best ball of the season around this time. The Heat beat the Warriors by 12 points on the road back in December. With Butler, Adebayo and Rozier, the Heat have enough to grind out a win. Give me Miami and the free bucket.
