Preview, predictions, TV, and injury report for tonight's Miami Heat v Golden State Warriors game
NBATuesday, 26 March 2024 at 22:43
On a short Tuesday day in the NBA where up to four games will be played, Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors will face each other between two play-in teams in each of their respective conferences, with Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler as the main stars of the game.
The Warriors will serve as visitors in one of their worst moments of the season. The Bay Area franchise has lost its last two games and sits 10th with a 36-34 record. The Los Angeles Lakers have pulled away in 9th with a 39-32 record, and most dangerously, the Houston Rockets are already nipping at GSW's heels having won their last nine games to sit 11th with a 36-35 record.
The Heat, meanwhile, are aiming for direct playoff qualification. They are currently 7th with a 39-32 record. Indiana Pacers is the team that occupies the borderline direct qualification spot, 6th with 41-32. Undoubtedly, the fight to avoid the playoffs in the Eastern Conference is one of the most exciting that the regular season is giving away in its final stretch.
