Warriors vs. Heat: NBA Same Game Parlays (Tuesday)
We will be breaking down two contests across The Association this evening. Things kick off in New York, where the Knicks take on the Dallas Mavericks at 7:30 p.m. ET. Following that, we head down to the Bay Area, where the Warriors and Heat lock up for what should be a very interesting matchup given the recent history surrounding Jimmy Butler.
Without any further preamble, let's dive right into our same-game parlay (SGP) picks for Warriors vs. Heat.

While the injury status for Steph Curry is still a little murky for this contest, one thing is for certain: All eyes will be on Jimmy Butler. Check the BettingPros app later for current information on injury news and more.
After losing 10 straight games, the Heat managed to pick up a win over the weekend against the lowly Charlotte Hornets. That doesn't particularly change much regarding the team finding consistent cohesion. Which is why we expect a return to losing form in this contest.
Golden State has won 12 out of its last 15 games. They are 7-3 over their last 10 contests on the road. The Heat have two wins at home over the last 10 games - against the Wizards and Hornets. Miami ranks 29th in offensive rating in the previous 10 games and has fallen below league average in defensive rating.
The Warriors are averaging 118.9 points in the previous 15 games played on the road. Golden State has exceeded 112.5 points in seven straight games on the road. The Warriors have scored at least 113 points in all but two wins over their last 20 games.
The temptation to ladder Butler’s points prop to 25 or 30 is real. Especially if the Warriors are once again without the services of Curry. Butler is averaging 19.8 points over the last five games, including three games with 20+ points.
Most of the time, the revenge narrative is more readily made for conversation. It's a cool story to tell, but it's mainly predicated on the situation more than anything.
If you follow the NBA, you'll have no trouble recalling all the turmoil that transpired between the Heat and Butler. We expect to see Butler take every opportunity to show out against his former team and finish with 20+ points.
