My Prediction
Golden State Warriors by 6Oh boy, we've got a humdinger of a game on our hands here folks. We're talking Miami Heat meeting the Golden State Warriors toe-to-toe.
The Heat's had a lukewarm season so far, sporting a 17/17 win-loss record. They might seem like a middle-of-the-road team but I hear the sizzle. Tyler Herro is turning some heads with his stunning 23.9 points per game this season. However, there's a little cloud hanging over us; he's currently doubtful due to an injury. Bam Adebayo is filling up the bucket too, scoring 16.1 points this season on an average.
Now the Warriors - they're just about keeping their heads above water with a 18/17 record so far. Steph Curry, the human highlight reel himself, is leading the pack with 22.5 points per game this season. But, the Warriors will have to go to battle without Jonathan Kuminga who's out today. It's a sizable loss but Andrew Wiggins, with his average of 16.7 points this season, is going to step up in his place.
Now, let's take a little walk down memory lane, shall we? The last two times these teams met, the Warriors smoked the Heat on their own turf 113:92, but the Heat struck back with a 114:102 in the Warriors' den. Looking at the recent gauntlet, the Heat's been struggling a bit. They've lost three of their last five while the Warriors won three.
I know, I know, you want the hot gossip. You want great Albert's prediction. So, taking into account all these factors, I say this matchup swings in favor of - drum roll, please - the Golden State Warriors.
