Friday NBA Betting – Late Game on ESPN is Miami at Golden State

January 5th, 2021 Live NBA Betting Lines

The Miami Heat will look to continue their winning ways in NBA betting as they visit the Golden State Warriors on Friday night in a game that can be seen on ESPN.

The Heat are coming off a very impressive win over Utah on Wednesday and gamblers making an NBA bet at Sbg global are looking at taking Miami again in this game against the Warriors.

Scorching Heat
Miami has won six straight overall and they have covered the spread in their last five.  LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have really started to play well together and Miami is starting to look like a title contender.  James had 33 points in the win over Utah while Wade had 28.

Warriors Have Hit the Skids
Golden State is just the opposite of Miami. They have now lost five straight games and on Wednesday it was ugly as they were blown out 111-94 by San Antonio.  Stephen Curry, who is second on Golden State in scoring, was injured in that game and his status for this game on Friday is questionable. The Warriors are still in the top 10 in scoring but their defense has been pitiful and it seems unlikely they can contain Miami in this game.
