: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Golden State Warriors Preview

On the season the Heat are 17-20-1 ATS and they have an O/U record of 15-23 and the Warriors are 24-11 ATS and they have an Under record of 16-19.

This season the Warriors are 16-1 at home and the Heat are 10-9 on the road.

In their last games the Warriors beat the Utah Jazz 116-105 and the Heat beat the L.A. Lakers 78-75.

The Warriors have won 14 straight home games and this season they have the best home record in the NBA. While the Heat have won 2 straight they are only 4-6 in their last 10 games and are big 12.5-point betting underdogs facing the Warriors tonight.

It is no surprise that the Warriors have the highest scoring team in the league, but their defense has been legit as well ranking 11th in opponents points allowed. Not only that, but they are holding opponents to the lowest FG% in the league (42%).

Golden State is riding a 7-game winning streak. Not only have they won 7 straight, but all of the wins have come by at least 10 points.

The Warriors are a perfect 12-0 this season facing teams from the Eastern Conference.

Dwayne Wade suffered a minor injury in the ugly win over the Lakers and he is a question mark tonight. He and Chris Bosh, who struggled in the win over the Lakers, are each averaging over 21 ppg.

It is no secret that to beat the Warriors you have to play great perimeter D facing the duo of Stephen Curry and Klay Thomson. This duo is combining to average over 44 points per game and in the team’s winning streak each is shooting over 52% from the floor.

Andrew Bogut is one of the main reasons the Warriors are solid on D and one key match up in tonight’s game is he facing Miami C Hassan Whiteside, who is averaging 14.6 ppg in his last 5 games on red-hot 76.7% shooting.

Miami has struggled behind the arc in the last 3 games with a 3-pt shooting percentage of only 21.6% (11/51)
