The Warriors just got a win, and on Jan. 4 they had a home game against the Heat. Curry will lead the team to win with excellent performances, Wiggins and Poole and others to support, and the Warriors goal is to win back-to-back at home. The Heat have just experienced a losing game, and they definitely want to end the loss as soon as possible, so Butler and Lowry have to perform better.
The Warriors had a tough battle against the jazz, which was a strong team, and in the end they narrowly won by 7 points to avoid a losing streak. The Warriors now hold a record for the league's only team this season without a losing streak. At home against the Heat, the Warriors will strive for a winning streak.
Curry played well against the Jazz, scoring 28 points, six rebounds and nine assists, and he shot as many as six three-pointers. Especially at the crucial moment of the final quarter, Curry showed his leadership temperament, personally scoring 5 points in a row to kill the game. Curry averaged 27.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6 assists per game in the new season, and his offensive performance is the key to the Warriors' consecutive wins, which will also put a lot of pressure on the Heat's defense.
The Warriors won the Jazz not only by Curry, Wiggins, Porter, Payton and others also stepped forward, and they gave the team a lot of support. Wiggins has always been ridiculed for playing health basketball in the Timberwolves, but he has averaged 19 points per game in the warriors' new season, which is already the team's second point of attack. Against the Heat, Wiggins would have an easy win as long as he kept the offensive momentum.
The Warriors' main point of attack is also Poole, who played 17 minutes in the last game and scored 10 points, obviously still adjusting. If Poole can return to the season average, the Warriors' offense need not worry.
The good news is that Green has stepped out of the health protection process, and his return will significantly improve the strength of the interior. Against the Heat, Green has to dominate the attack and defense on the inside line, and at the same time, he should pass the ball, then the team will run more smoothly. Payton, Porter, Bjelica, Iguodala and others must also have performances, so that the Warriors are the strongest fighting force.
The Heat suffered a previous loss, losing to the Kings by two points and ending a five-game winning streak. Back-to-back against the Warriors is an uphill battle, so the whole team has to perform well so that they can bounce back on the road. Butler, who is averaging 23.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game in the new season, is looking to lead the team on the offensive end.
Lowry, who had 14 points and 12 assists in his last game, completed the organizational task. Against the Warriors, Lowry will face Curry and must play with intensity so that he can create pressure on the opponent. The Heat still have several major injuries, namely Adebayor, Robinson, tucker, which obviously affects the overall strength of the team. At this time, more players are needed to stand up and help the team, such as Hiro, Martin and others, to give Butler and Lowry fire support, so that the team has the hope of winning.
Expected starting players for both sides:
Heat: Lowry, Martin, Hiro, Butler, JoltseVin.
Warriors: Curry, Payton, Wiggins, Green, Looney.
