Golden State Warriors Team News
The Warriors won the title very sovereignly last season, so they haven’t changed much this season. The most important task for them this season is to get everyone healthy again. Center Wiseman is back and will bring a new dimension to the game for the Warriors. However, the biggest reinforcement this summer is the contract extension of Andrew Wiggins! Some guys who played a very important role in winning the ring, above all from the aspect of defense, Damion Lee, Gary Payton Jr, Nemanja Bjelica, Toscano-Anderson and Otto Porter, left the team.
Before the start of this season, the Warriors were rocked by a scandal, where a video of a fight between Draymond Green and Jordan Poole surfaced in training! In the end, it was all smoothed out, but the Warriors don’t look like the team from last year, especially defensively. The attackers are still very powerful and score over 120+ points on everyone.
Curry is consistent, but waiting for Klay to wake up. In the defeat against the Suns, he reacted. He didn’t score his crazy 40+ points, but he reacted to a bad game with a fight. In a clinch with Suns players, he was sent off. Against the Heat, we expect the real Klay, who will set the Heat’s nets on fire together with Curry and company.
Miami Heat Team News
Spolstra and Riley haven’t changed much this season. Only the experienced Tucker left the team, but last season they got a lot of width and reinforcement in Strus and Vincent, who proved to be players who can meet the demands on both sides of the field!
Nikola Jović arrived as a rookie, who showed in the preparatory games and the Summer League that he will be a big reinforcement, but Spolstra will not rush him. However, the most important link of this team is the duo of Butler and Adebayo. Jimmy played like a trance against the Celtics in the playoffs, but he still couldn’t just carry the Heat to the big Finals.
It’s the beginning of the season, and the Heat start their engines a little later and time their form for the right one. The team from Miami has a very difficult schedule at the beginning of the season, so this score of 2-3 is not surprising. The quality of Miami is best shown by last night’s game, when they very easily defeated the Portland Trail Blazers, led by Lillard, who were undefeated until last night. In that match, they showed team play and fight, and limited the Blazers to under 100 points. As many as 6 players scored 15 or more points for Miami.
Now they have a difficult task ahead of them. The day after this great victory, they go to the feet of the champion Golden State, which is motivated after a heavy defeat against the Suns in Arizona. Will they have enough power and fuel to answer Curry and company?

Golden State Warriors vs. Miami Heat Prediction
This is a clash in quality between two equal teams. But we will take into account that this is a back-2-back game for the guests from Miami and that less than 24 hours ago they played a match against the Trail Blazers, and we think that against the Warriors they will not be able to physically play all 48 minutes and that the Warriors will win that match.
Donte DiVincenzo will not be in the lineup for the Warriors, while veteran Igoudala is questionable. Miami will be without Oladipo and Yurtseven, who have been out since the start of the season.
