4* WARRIORS/HEAT NBA BLOCKBUSTER ATS SMASH: Warriors +8.5

This is not the same Warriors team from years past that couldn't win on the road. Golden State is 8-4 away from home this season with impressive wins over both the Clippers and Nets. While it's going to take a special effort for them to beat Miami on the road, I expect them to keep it close and easily cover this 8.5-point spread.

Golden State is 27-13 ATS as a road underdog over the last 2 seasons, while the Heat are just 20-39 ATS in home games off a home win against a division rival since 1996 (avg. score was Miami 94, Opponent 91)! BET THE WARRIORS!
