The Golden State Warriors have won their last six games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Golden State has won six games in a row, including a 94-81 victory over the Orlando Magic as six-point road favorites last time out, while going UNDER the betting total of 202.\u00a0 The Warriors have four probable starters averaging in double figures, with point guard Stephen Curry leading the charge at 22.9 points a contest, which is important to consider when making your NBA predictions.\u00a0 He\u2019s never reached 20 in four match-ups with the Heat.\u00a0 Golden State is 0-4 SU and 2-2 ATS as road underdogs of 3.5 to 6 points this season, with the UNDER going 3-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Warriors have dropped nine of their last 16 meetings against the Heat, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the NBA betting lines.\u00a0 Golden State has won 20 of its first 33 games this season, while it leads the NBA in the amount of games its played decided by four or fewer points\u2014posting a 6-7 SU record in that situation.\u00a0 The franchise is in the midst of a season-long seven-game road trip\u2014all against Eastern Conference opponents.<\/p>\n

Miami has won back-to-back games, including a 97-94 victory over the Denver Nuggets as five-point road favorites last time out, while going UNDER the betting total of 202.5.\u00a0 The Heat are led by the play of forward LeBron James on both ends of the floor, as he\u2019s averaging 25.5 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game.\u00a0 The franchise is 14-2 SU at AmericanAirlines Arena, including a perfect 5-0 mark versus non-conference opponents.\u00a0 Miami is 10-1 SU and 7-4 ATS as home favorites of 3.5 to 6 points the last two-plus seasons, with the UNDER going 7-4 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Heat are outscoring opponents by seven points per game\u2014mainly due to the fact of shooting 51.1 percent from the floor.\u00a0 Miami\u2019s current 24-7 record ties its best start to a season in franchise history, which had been done three previous times.\u00a0 Center Chris Bosh has been playing some of his best basketball\u2014averaging 23.8 points and 8.3 rebounds over his last four games.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely play the total, as the UNDER is 5-2 in the Warriors\u2019 last seven road games.<\/p>\n
