This game is tough to pick because the Warriors are unstoppable when their role players shoot well and don’t rely only on Curry, and the Heat haven’t played great this year but they are a tough and talented team and you never know when they could turn things around. I do believe they will go on a big run sometime this season and snag an 8 or even a 7 seed over the Raptors or Hornets. Both teams come off a day of rest and I really don’t know whether this will be a slow paced defensive game or a high scoring offensive battle - it’s always hard to tell with these teams. The Warriors are weak at the big man position, while Adebayo is a focal point on offense and defense for the Heat. I expect him to get the ball down low tonight, and for the Heat defense to limit the ball movement of the Warriors. Take the Heat +1, Bam Adebayo over 19.5 points, and Draymond Green under 9.5 assists.
