THE PLAY: Golden State Warriors -7.0 (-110)
(531) Miami Heat at (532) Golden State Warriors: Spread
3% Golden State Warriors -7.0 (-110) - good as a 3% to -78.5
This is my first NBA play this season (I release very limited NBA plays)
Miami is off an OT win at the Clippers, in which they trailed 67-52 at HT.
Three players topped 41 minutes, and 5 played over 35 minutes.
The Heat have played 2 no-rest games this season, losing both as a Fav by 16.5 PPG, and failed to cover them by 18.5 PPG.
In both games, their opponents also had no rest, making this their first non-rested vs. rested game - the Warriors have 2 days of rest, and Miami is also playing their 3rd away game in days.
Teams off an OT win with no rest in a non-conference game as a Fav/single-digit dog are 26-78-1 (25%) ATS!
Since 2014 there have been 9 games with a HF -6+ with 2 days rest vs a no rest team off am OT win and they are 9-0 SU winning by 19.6 PPG & 9-0 ATS covering by 10.4 PPG!
AD/small AF of an away OT win in which they trailed by 15+ at HT are 4-17 (19%) ATS since 2017
The Warriors started the season 0-3 SU but have gone 5-0 SU/ATS since winning by 11.4 PPG and covering by 13.1 PPG.
The Warriors D allowed 53% shooting their first 4 games but they have held their L4 foes to 44% and 33% from three

Consultant Bio
Ralph was raised in the home of handicappers in Cleveland, Ohio. Starting in the industry as a key member of Phil Steele's early team, which expanded Northcoast Sports during the mid-90s. Ralph's personal following grew fast, allowing him to strike out on his own as the founder of California Sports. Over the next dozen years as General Manager of Phil Steele Publications and lead handicapper of Northcoast Sports, Ralph managed the creation of some of the most popular sports betting content ever, including Phil Steele's College Football Preview Magazine and Northcoast's Power Sweep Newsletter. Content displaying expertise so elite that Ralph was invited into college football's most exclusive club: Heisman Trophy Voter
Ralph Michaels has a math mind, steadily searching for a value in the numbers in addition to matchup edges, situational advantages, and hidden gems of information. Ralph finds more big bets in the college versions of football and basketball, but his handicapping approach also uncovers selective winners in the professional leagues like MLB. Small conferences are particularly profitable due to mispriced injuries and his profiling of exploitable coaching tendencies.
