Seven different Heat players scored in double figures, led by 18 off Haywood Highsmith’s bench, as Miami won each of the first three quarters by at least ten points.

Warriors vs Heat Prediction
As good as the Heat were last time, and as much as I want to back them with more money, I have to make them disappear on Tuesday night. Miami’s litany of injuries is simply too long and Golden State’s position is too perilous. With just 12 games remaining in the regular season, the Warriors will need a playoff effort every time to ensure they still play in late April.
GSW vs. MIA choice:
- Warriors -1.5 (-115)
- Curry above 25.5 points (-140)
