The Heat, who are running away with the Southeast Division lead, continue a six-game Western swing when they take on the Warriors in the second meeting between the two teams this season.
The two met on January 2 in Miami; a game won in convincing fashion by Golden State, 123-114, despite taking the court as 4.5-point underdogs on the NBA betting odds menu at shops such as Bovada.

That victory came during a 10-game winning streak SU by the Warriors. However, Golden State has struggled since the streak ended on January 8, in a 102-98 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The Warriors are just 7-8 SU since; 5-5 SU at home.
The Heat are profitable as underdogs with a 9-3 ATS run in 12 recent games in this situation, according to the NBA database at OddsShark.com.
Golden State is coming off a 123-80 rout of the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night, their second straight double-digit win on home court.
The Heat’s current road trip completes a stretch of 21 games since New Year’s Day, during which they played 14 on the road. Although Miami is 7-3 SU in their last 10 against the Warriors, they have failed to win in Oakland since posting a 106-84 victory in December 2010.
The Heat are also only 3-7 ATS versus Golden State during that time; 1-4 in their last five meetings. In fact, Miami has been far from a safe bet ATS all season, covering in back-to-back games only twice since the beginning of December.
Luckily for those betting on the Heat, the Warriors have also been less than impressive ATS this season. Despite a solid 31-21 record SU, 16-9 at home, Golden State is a miserable 10-14-1 ATS at home this season.
However, the Warriors have covered in four of their last six at home, scoring 100+ points on each occasion.
