This will be the first meeting between the teams this season. The Warriors have won just two out of their last five games.
Dubs are coming off a rare 104-90 win over the Chicago Bulls at home. Alec Burks was solid with 23 points (9-of-19 shooting), 7 assists and 10 rebounds. Eric Paschall contributed 25 points (9-of-17 shooting) and 7 rebounds.
The heat will attempt to rebound from a 108-117 loss to the Houston Rockets, a game in which Kelly Olynyk contributed 19 points (7-of-10 shooting) and 6 rebounds. Bam Adebayo had a solid outing with 17 points (5-of-8 FG), 8 assists and 11 rebounds.
Both teams are expected to be at full strength with no notable injuries. The Warriors will be playing their second game in two nights. The Heat will focus on taking full advantage of their superb three-point shooting (ranked No. 11 in the league in threes made) to win the game.
