Miami Heat vs. Golden State Warriors: Prediction

The Miami Heat have been going through a lot this season. After getting into a public rift with Jimmy Butler, the Heat has faced serious performance issues. As Butler was traded to the Golden State Warriors, the Heat slumped further. During one of the nightmarish runs, the Heat lost 10 games on the trot. Thankfully, as they managed to break the slump with a win over the Hornets, their season looks as good as over.
On the other hand, the Warriors have climbed up to the 6th position in the West. With 41 wins and 30 losses, the Warriors are trying hard to script an emphatic comeback. Their top two players have been Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler. While Curry is dropping 24.2 ppg on average, Butler, too, has been impressed with an average of 17.3 ppg. Also keeping them company is Draymond Green, who is chipping in with some valuable points. Thus, the game will be a banger with Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler turning foes.
