Season Series – 1st Meeting
Picks against the spread
Spread | Points | Result |
Miami | Under | Golden State |
+14.0 | 222.5 | 120-118 |
- Warriors own the best record in the West and have wins in 14 of their last 15.
- Warriors showed off just how many gears they have in a 141-102 win over the Spurs on Wednesday but barely pulled out a 117-107 win at West-worst Suns on Friday. Bets ATS are sketchy, especially getting to the -14.0 line tonight.
- Heat let go of guards Tyler Johnson and Wayne Ellington before Thursday’s deadline, opening a starting spot for shooting guard Dion Waiters and extra playing time for vet D-Wade.
- No idea with this one.
Best Bet = Under 222.5
