Heat vs Warriors Preview
Both of these teams have gotten off to sluggish starts this season but there’s no need for the alarms to be sounded yet. The Warriors’ start can likely be attributed to a little bit of a championship hangover.
The Heat on the other hand have played their first four games against playoff teams from last season and all of them have been decided by eight points or fewer. However, Miami is in a tough spot in this game as it’s their second of a back-to-back following last night’s game in Portland.
For Golden State, Steph Curry has picked up right where he left off last season averaging 30.3 points per game while shooting a blistering 44.4% from three. Curry is also averaging 5.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists per contest.
Andrew Wiggins has been the team’s second-leading scorer at 20.8 points per game while shooting 49.3% from the field. Wiggins is also the team’s leading rebounder at 6.3 per game. Jordan Poole has also gotten off to a solid start averaging 15.0 points and 5.8 assists per game.
James Wiseman has also made a contribution in his return averaging 11.3 points and 5.3 rebounds in 17.8 minutes per game. One concern for the Warriors is the slow start for Klay Thompson, who is scoring just 11.0 points per game while shooting only 28.6% from three.
The Heat on the other hand has had a bit of a scoring problem so far. The team was averaging just 103.5 points per game through the first four games of the season.
Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro have combined to average 44.0 points per game, but the other eight players to log minutes this season have only combined for 59.5 points per contest. The team needs more out of Bam Adebayo, who is only averaging 13.8 points per game so far, the lowest since his second season in the league.
Kyle Lowry is also down to just 10.8 points per game so far. If the Heat are going to get back to where they were last season then players like Adebayo, Lowry, Max Strus, Gabe Vincent, Duncan Robinson, and Caleb Martin are going to have to pick up more of the scoring load.
