A day after coming back to defeat the Magic in Orlando, the Golden State Warriors (38-6), now vying for their eighth straight win, were in South Beach to face the Miami Heat (14-30), winners of three straight.

The Warriors were without David West (non-displaced fracture, left thumb) and head coach Steve Kerr, one day after resting veteran Shaun Livingston, gave Andre Iguodala a turn at resting.

The Heat were without Chris Bosh (illness) was out, Josh McRoberts (foot) was out, Josh Richardson (foot) was questionable, Justise Winslow (shoulder) was out, and Tyler Johnson (shoulder) was out.
