The Golden State Warriors (36-34, 18-15 away, 37-32-1 ATS) try to break out of a two-game losing streak on Tuesday night when they visit the Miami Heat (39-32, 18-16 home, 34-36-1 ATS) at the Kaseya Center at 7:10 pm ET.
Miami is battling a long list of injuries to starters and rotation players, which has led oddsmakers to list Golden State as a slight road favorite on March 26.

Golden State remains the #10 seed in the West in the NBA playoff bracket, now 2.5 games behind the #9 Lakers and only half a game up on the #11 Rockets, who have won an NBA-best nine straight.
Warriors Drop Back to Back Games
Golden State is perilously close to falling out of the postseason picture altogether after back-to-back losses to Indiana (123-111 home) and Minnesota (114-110 away).
The Warriors led both games at the half but were outscored 57-44 in the second by the Pacers and 68-56 by the Timberwolves. Steph Curry had a team-high 25 against Indiana and 31 against Minnesota.
The good news for the Dubs is that they’ll head into Tuesday night as the considerably healthier team. Trayce Jackson-Davis (7.4 PPG, 4.5 RPG) is the only player on Golden State’s injury report, listed as questionable with a sore right knee.
Golden State lost its first game with Miami this season, 114-102 at home on Dec. 28 as 6.5-point home favorites.

Heat Demolish Cavs to Win Fourth of Last Six
Miami put the boots to Cleveland on Sunday, crushing the Cavaliers 121-84 in arguably the team’s best defensive performance of the season. Seven different Heat players scored in double-ps, led by 18 off the bench from Haywood Highsmith, as Miami won each of the first three quarters by at least ten points.
Cleveland was missing leading scorer Donovan Mitchell, but the Heat were also without several significant contributors, which will be the case again on Tuesday.
Tyler Herro (20.8 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 4.4 APG), Duncan Robinson (13.5 PPG, 40.5 3P%), Kevin Love (9.0 PPG, 6.2RPG), and Josh Richardson (9.9 PPG) are all out, while Caleb Martin (10.3 PPG, 4.6 RPG) and Jaime Jaquez Jr (12.3 PPG, 4.0 RPG) are both questionable.
Miami has now won four of its past six games, but that includes a pair of road wins over the Pistons, and the team is actually just 1-3 straight-up in its last four at home.

Curry has the highest point total of the night at 25.5 while Butler leads the Heat players at 22.5.
Warriors vs Heat Prediction
As good as the Heat looked last time out, and as much as I want to back them at plus money, I have to fade them on Tuesday night. Miami’s litany of injuries is just too long, and Golden State’s position is too perilous. With only 12 games remaining in the regular season, the Warriors will need a playoff effort each and every time out to ensure they’re still playing come late April.
GSW vs MIA picks:
Warriors -1.5 (-115)Curry over 25.5 points (-140)
