In their previous four games, the Heat showed a mix of strength and struggle. They faced challenges in closing out tight games, as shown in the last loss to the Charlotte Hornets 105-102.
Prior to that, they suffered a defeat against the Cleveland Cavaliers 112-107. This game extended the Cavaliers’ winning streak to 12 games.
On the injury front, guard Dru Smith is out for the season after tearing his Achilles tendon in December. Additionally, Nikola Jović is listed as out due to a hand injury. Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo’s recent injuries are concerning, but their participation in the last game suggests they may be available against the Warriors.
Golden State Warriors Team News
The Golden State Warriors (41-30) recently lost 124-115 to the Atlanta Hawks, playing without star guard Stephen Curry, who is recovering from an injury sustained during a game against the Toronto Raptors. Curry’s status for the upcoming game against the Heat remains uncertain and will depend on his response to treatment.
The Warriors secured a narrow 117-114 victory over the Toronto Raptors, demonstrating their ability to win close contests even without Curry. This was preceded by a 104-93 win against the Milwaukee Bucks, where they showed solid defensive play. However, they also faced a 114-105 loss to the Denver Nuggets.

The recent addition of Jimmy Butler, acquired from the Miami Heat in a trade involving Andrew Wiggins and others, adds a new dynamic to the Warriors’ lineup.
Butler brings significant offensive and defensive skills, averaging over five assists per game since 2019 and earning five All-Defensive second-team honors. His integration into the team has been promising, and his performance against his former team will be a focal point in the upcoming matchup.
Miami Heat vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
- Pick: Golden State Warriors to win
- Odds: -193 (20bet)
- Score prediction: Miami Heat 115 – 108 Golden State Warriors
Considering the current form and injury statuses of both teams, the Golden State Warriors appear to have an edge, even with the uncertainty surrounding Stephen Curry’s availability.
The addition of Jimmy Butler provides a big boost to their lineup, offering both attacking firepower and defensive tenacity. The Miami Heat have shown signs of resurgence with their recent win, but they struggled with consistency and injuries throughout the season.
So, the Warriors will have a slight advantage in the upcoming game.
Miami Heat vs Golden State Warriors, Betting Tip
- Pick: Jimmy Butler to score over 20.5 points
- Odds: -143 (20bet)
Jimmy Butler’s recent performance with the Golden State Warriors has been impressive.
Since joining the team, he has averaged 17.3 points per game, with a field goal percentage of 49.3%. In the absence of Stephen Curry, Butler stepped up in attack.
For instance, in a recent game against the Milwaukee Bucks, he recorded 24 points, eight rebounds, and ten assists, leading the team to a 104-93 victory. Considering his increased attacking role and consistent scoring, it is reasonable to predict that Butler will surpass 20.5 points in the next game against the Miami Heat.
