Scouting report: This is the second game of the two-game season series. … The Warriors won the first meeting, 120-118, Feb. 10 at Oracle Arena on a disputed late possession that ended with a pair of DeMarcus Cousins free throws closing out the scoring, a play the NBA later said should have been a double-dribble violation on Kevin Durant. Durant led the Warriors with 39 points in the victory, with Josh Richardson scoring a career-high 37 for the Heat in the loss. … The Warriors have won eight of the past nine meetings, including five of the past six at AmericanAi­rlines Arena. … The game concludes a three-game homestand for the Heat and opens a back-to-back set that concludes Thursday in Houston. … The Heat enter 11-19 against teams with winning records. … The game is the second on a four-game trip for the

Warriors, opening a back-to-back set that concludes Thursday in Orlando. … Derrick Jones Jr. (illness) is available for the Heat, with Justise Winslow (knee) probable, James Johnson (shoulder) and Rodney McGruder (knee) questionab­le, and Yante Maten on G League assignment. … For the Warriors, Jacob Evans III (pelvic) is probable and Damian Jones (pectoral) is out, with Marcus Derrickson and Damion Lee on G League assignment.
