Expert picks and predictions for Heat vs. Tuesday Warriors

The best sports betting on NBC

Drew Dinsick ( @whale_capper ) expects the home team to cover: Golden State -9
“It’s hard to imagine a worse spot in the entire 82-game schedule for the Heat, in a back-to-back double-OT game and without their best player. It will add to the game if there is a last-ditch effort from out of Miami at 1H”.

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) doesn’t expect much from Bam Adebayo and the Heat: Bam Adebayo Under 30.5 PRA (-115) and Warriors -9 (-110)
“The Miami Heat are a mess right now, and Jimmy Butler’s comments and actions are probably a reason why. Miami has lost three straight to Indiana, Utah, plus Sacramento, and is in a bad spot on the road. Miami is in the second game of a six-game road trip in the West and lost in OT to the Kings yesterday, so this trip couldn’t come at a worse time.”

Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) also supports the Warriors: Golden State -9
“Steph Curry is going to throw a 40 piece tonight. Without Jimmy on the floor, his defensive acumen isn’t very high. I blew the Heat yesterday with the expectation of betting on them tonight. However, they went to Double OT in the first leg of his long road trip. It’s an easy place to fade.”
