After starting the season off in blazing fashion, the Warriors have hit a wall and have now dropped five in a row and 10 of their last 11 overall to fall to 8-14 on the season. The bad news doesn't stop their however as guard Stephan Curry had to be helped of the court in the second quarter of their 111-94 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night. Curry is expected to miss tonight's game and no timetable has been set for his return.
The Heat continue to gain momentum as they extended their winning streak to a season best six games as they handled the Utah Jazz 111-98 on Wednesday night. After losing in overtime to this same Jazz squad a little under a month ago, the (15-8) Heat came into this game with a chip on their shoulder, and they controlled the game throughout, outscoring the Jazz 34-20 in the fourth quarter to seal the victory. Earlier in the season, the 'big three' of Miami struggled when they were all on the court together, however over their current six game winning streak their plus/minus stats are nearly tripled as they look to be getting more comfortable with each other with every passing game.
Head to head, the Heat are just 1-3-1 ATS in the last five meetings however they are 4-1-1 ATS in the last six in Golden State. The road team is 5-1-1 ATS in the last seven meetings and the underdog is 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings. The over is 6-1 in the last seven meetings and 4-0 in the last four in Golden State.
Despite the offensive talent that the Heat have on their roster, they have only been a middle of the road offensive team in the opening stages of the season. The Warriors are also way down from their production last season, mainly due to the injury that forced David Lee out for eight games. Looking through the Heat's last 10 games, the majority of the teams they have played have been slower paced teams, not tonight however. The Warriors like the push the ball like no one else and we should see a ton of points scored tonight. Stephen Curry will miss tonight's game, however his replacement in Reggie Williams scored a career high 31 points in his absence in San Antonio, so he should be able to pick up the slack. I'm curious as to why this line is a low as it is, in any case, I could see the Heat putting up 120 in this one....
