1.87Tip and bets
Bookmakers experts consider Golden State to be the clear favorite of the upcoming match. In their opinion, the visiting team will not have many chances to succeed. In general, it is worth agreeing with them. Of course, the Warriors are not playing very confidently now. But their opponent has problems with the roster. Without Butler, the Heat are not able to show stable results. The basketball players from San Francisco will definitely make every effort not to lose face in front of their fans.
Our prediction is a Golden State victory with a handicap of (-8.5) points, including overtime, at 1.81
Bet on individual total
Golden State has not been showing very high performance this season. The average point total for the last ten games is 108. And this time, everything is going to the fact that the team from the Golden State will not be able to significantly improve its statistics.
Our prediction is Golden State's individual total under 114.5 points including overtime at 2.08
Bet on the player
Curry played 74 games in the past regular season and averaged 26.4 points per game. This season, his rate is slightly lower — 22.3. The 36-year-old point guard has definitely not lost his basic skills. The Olympic champion as part of the US team will be able to cause a lot of trouble for the opponent's defense.
Our prediction is Curry's total points over 22.5 points including overtime at 1.87
