Stay on top of the latest NBA<\/a> updates direct from Las Vegas!<\/em><\/p>\n The rest of the league might be taking notice that the Warriors are getting healthy and tonight they will be starting Steph, Draymond and Wiggins with Poole coming off the bench, and those are the pieces that lead them to their incredible start to the season and being considered the best team in the league.<\/p>\n Miami is getting healthier as Butler is back along with Herro and Lowry, but they\u2019re still without Bam, Robinson and Tucker. Golden State is an 11-favorite and the total is 215.5 tonight, let’s dive in and find the best wager in this one.<\/p>\n Golden State has won seven out of nine games which is a very solid run considering the skeleton lineups they\u2019ve had to play with, but it goes to show the depth this team has. They\u2019re coming off a seven point win at Utah against the red hot Jazz, and they did it with no Draymond. Curry was amazing, and Wiggin and Otto Porter pitched in huge games so if they can go into Utah and win big it doesn\u2019t bode will for the rest of the league.<\/p>\n Golden State is 4-1 ATS their last five games, but their lineups have looked nothing like tonights lineup. I don\u2019t know how Draymond will look, but I expect him to slide into the starting lineup and not miss a beat, and the rest of Golden State is well rested as they\u2019ve only played one game since December 29th.<\/p>\n Miami has had a different starting lineup every game for a month it feels like, yet they\u2019ve won seven out of nine games, but unfortunately they lost last night to Sacramento and have to turn around and play a double header against one of the two best teams in the league when healthy.<\/p>\n As good as their record has been recently, it must be noted they beat Houston, Washington, Orlando and Detroit all in a row so it was a great time to have shuffling lineups for them. Even with Butler in the lineup, their defense hasn\u2019t been great as Bam\u2019s absence takes away so much defense inside.<\/p>\n The last three Miami games have been score-fests ending at 228, 230, and 231. In fact, Miami has the most overs this season going 22-15 O\/U and they\u2019re 4-1 their last 5. Add to that they\u2019re 7-3 on the road in their last 10 to the over, and with Draymond returning it sets up well for Golden State to score, but the Heat can put up points as well as they\u2019ve scored 113 or more in five out of six. I expect more offense tonight, so I\u2019ll be on the over.<\/p>\n OFFICIAL PLAY: Over 215.5 Points<\/p>\n Interested in placing a bet on tonight’s Golden State Warriors vs Miami Heat contest?
