Expert tips and predictions for Tuesday’s Heat vs. Warriors game

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets

Drew Dinsick (@whale_capper) expects the home team to cover: Golden State -9
“It’s hard to imagine a worse finish in the Heat’s entire 82-game schedule, consecutive after a double-OT game and without their top player. Will be added in the game if there is one last attempt by Miami in the first hour.”

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 in disarray right now, and Jimmy Butler’s comments and actions are likely one reason why. Miami has lost three straight to Indiana, Utah and Sacramento and is in a bad travel situation. Miami is in the second game of a six-game road trip out West and lost to the Kings in OT last night, so this trip couldn’t come at a worse time.”

Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) also supports the Warriors: Golden State -9
“Steph Curry drops a 40 tonight. Without Jimmy on the field, their defensive strength is not very high. I tuned out the Heat yesterday in anticipation of betting on it tonight. However, on the first leg of their long road trip, they visited Double OT. It’s an easy spot to fade.”
