Heat vs. Warriors prediction: NBA Thursday picks, odds, best bets
The Golden State Warriors are favoured to extend their five-game winning streak when they host the Miami Heat, whose season has begun with a 3-5 record. The article points to the contrast in form and rest: Golden State has had two days off, while Miami is playing the second game of a back-to-back and its third match in four nights.
Stephen Curry has scored at least 30 points in three straight games, and rookie Yaxel Lendeborg added 37 points and six three-pointers against the Clippers. Miami beat the Clippers 117-116 in overtime on Wednesday, but lost to the Lakers by 21 points on Monday despite Giannis Antetokounmpo scoring 30 points and taking 12 rebounds. The recommended bet is Golden State -7.5 at -106.
In short
- The Warriors have won five consecutive games.
- Miami faces a tiring second game in two nights.
- The pick is Warriors -7.5 at -106.
