Key Storylines
- High-Octane Heat Offense: The Heat are averaging over 124 points per game this season. Their offense has come alive, and they are capable of pushing a fast pace, which could help them against the veteran Warriors.
- Miami’s Defensive Vulnerabilities: While they are strong offensively, the Heat have allowed some big totals this season. Their defense is allowing 121.5 points per game and they will need to lock in to slow down the Warriors here.
- Golden State’s Schedule: The Warriors are playing on the second night of a back-to-back tonight. They lost to the Orlando Magic last night and they will have to overcome that if they want to win this game.
- Injury Notes: Golden State is without De’Anthony Melton. Steph Curry and Jonathan Kuminga are questionable. Miami could have Bam Adebayo back on the floor for this game. They are without Tyler Herro due to injury and Terry Rozier due to legal issues.

Final Thoughts
The scheduling situation surrounding this game should give the Heat the upper hand on Wednesday night. Golden State is playing for the second game in a row here and that should make it harder for their veteran core to perform at a high level. I’ll lay the points with the Heat on their home floor here, as they should improve to 7-1 on their home floor for the year with a win.
