Through 3 Quarters
The Miami Heat typically have all the answers at home, but the Golden State Warriors are posing a tough problem. After three quarters it’s looking more and more like Golden State’s high-powered offense is just too much for the Heat as the Dubs lead 92-82.
Shooting guard Jordan Poole has led the way so far for the Dubs, as he has 24 points and five assists. Miami has been relying on the performance of small forward Jimmy Butler, who has 22 points along with five boards.
Miami has lost 85% of the time when they were down heading into the fourth quarter this year, so this one seems just about wrapped up

What to Know
The Golden State Warriors will square off against the Miami Heat at 10 p.m. ET on Monday at Chase Center. Coming off of a win even when the odds were against them, Golden State has to be feeling especially confident now that the spread is in their favor.
The Warriors beat the Utah Jazz 123-116 this past Saturday. Small forward Otto Porter Jr. and point guard Stephen Curry were among the main playmakers for Golden State as the former had 20 points and eight assists in addition to seven boards and the latter shot 6-for-12 from downtown and finished with 28 points, nine dimes and six rebounds.
Meanwhile, it was a hard-fought contest, but Miami had to settle for a 115-113 loss against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. Miami’s defeat shouldn’t obscure the performances of center Omer Yurtseven, who posted a double-double on 22 points and 16 boards, and point guard Kyle Lowry, who dropped a double-double on 14 points and 12 assists along with five boards. That makes it eight consecutive games in which Yurtseven has had at least 12 rebounds. Yurtseven’s points were the most he has had all season.
This next matchup looks promising for Golden State, who are favored by a full 10.5 points. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (18-9-2), so they might be worth a quick bet.
The Warriors’ win brought them up to 28-7 while the Heat’s defeat pulled them down to 23-14. A pair of defensive stats to keep an eye on: Golden State have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 42.70%, which places them first in the league.
