Miami Heat vs Golden State Warriors Prediction: Even GSW youth are not willing to lose three straight games at home

Miami will face Golden State in one of the final game days of the NBA Summer League in California. Who will be more assertive? Let's pick a few options to bet on at once.

In the two games played in the tournament, the Heat have hardly scored anything. First, Miami lost 66-100 to the Los Angeles Lakers, and then after a good first half, they fell apart in the second against Sacramento State, 64-81. The Heat's young team has trouble organizing their offense.

Javonte Smart, who plays point guard, may be the primary source of concern. The Serbian talent Nikola Jovic hasn't shown much either. He is seen on the bench in this tournament, though. Miami also features Mychal Mulder, already a standout player in the NBA and incidentally for Golden State.

Despite playing on their home court, the Warriors couldn't win either of their first two games in the tournament. First, Golden State lost to Sacramento State, 68-86, then fell to the Los Angeles Lakers, 77-100.

Several players from Golden State's main roster were named to the tournament – Moses Moody, Jonathan Kuminga, and James Wiseman. But they barely play. The starters in the first two games were guard Lester Quinones, who poured in 19 points for the Lakers, and Brazilian light forward Gui Santos, who scored 23 points in the game against Sacramento.

Miami has two wins over Golden State in their last three Summer League games.

Golden State is unlikely to expect to lose their third summer league game at their arena. The team will probably be able to avoid that. Miami was very weak on offense in the first games of the tournament and probably will not be able to improve their offense in game three.

Prediction: Golden State will win.
