Quick answers
Who won Miami Heat vs Golden State Warriors?
Golden State Warriors beat Miami Heat 120-100 at Chase Center on November 5, 2026.
Who was favored in Miami Heat vs Golden State Warriors?
Golden State Warriors were the favorite at DraftKings, moneyline -167 (about 63% implied). The favorite won.
The Warriors have been on a roll, winning their last five games, while the Heat have struggled, managing only one win in their last six outings. This game highlighted the Warriors' offensive prowess, averaging 116.8 points per game at home, against a Miami team that has allowed an average of 121.7 points in their recent matches.
They have averaged 121.0 points and allowed 109.6 points over their last five games. The Heat, on the other hand, had a record of 3-6 and were coming off a narrow 117-116 victory over the LA Clippers, but their overall scoring average of 122.7 points per game was offset by their defensive struggles.
The Warriors' home performance has been strong, with a record of 3-1 at the Chase Center this season. They have been particularly effective in their last five home games, winning all of them and scoring an impressive average of 121.0 points while allowing just 109.6. Conversely, the Heat have struggled on the road, holding a 2-4 record in away games this season.
The matchup also featured a notable injury report. The Warriors were without Gui Santos, Kristaps Porzingis, and Moses Moody due to knee and illness issues, while the Heat were missing star player Jimmy Butler III, who is out with a knee injury. The absence of these key players undoubtedly impacted both teams' strategies and performances on the court.
The betting market, as reported by DraftKings, had the Warriors favored by 3.5 points, with a total set at 236.5. The odds reflected the Warriors' strong home performance and recent winning streak, while the Heat's struggles were evident in their underdog status.
As the game unfolded, the Warriors took control early and maintained their lead throughout. They showcased a balanced offensive attack, with contributions from multiple players, particularly in the fourth quarter when they extended their lead to 20 points. The scoring plays included a series of impressive shots, such as a three-point jumper from Georges Niang and a dynamic alley-oop dunk from Yaxel Lendeborg.
The Warriors' defense was also a key factor, limiting the Heat's scoring opportunities and forcing them into difficult shots. Miami's inability to keep pace with Golden State's scoring ultimately sealed their fate in this matchup.
In summary, the Golden State Warriors demonstrated their dominance over the Miami Heat with a decisive 120-100 win, continuing their strong performance at home and extending their winning streak to six games. The Heat, facing challenges both on the court and with injuries, will need to regroup as they look to improve their record moving forward.
What we said beforehand
The Golden State Warriors will host the Miami Heat at Chase Center on November 6, 2026, in a matchup that promises to be compelling given both teams' recent performances. The Warriors are currently favored by 3.5 points according to DraftKings, with a total set at 235.5.
In their last five games, the Warriors have been on a significant winning streak, achieving victories against the Denver Nuggets (134-114), Minnesota Timberwolves (119-114), Los Angeles Lakers (112-95), LA Clippers (124-112), and Phoenix Suns (116-113). This impressive run has bolstered their home performance, where they have won five consecutive games, averaging 121.0 points scored and allowing 109.6 points during this stretch.
Conversely, the Miami Heat's recent form has been a bit more mixed. They have won three of their last five games, including a notable victory against the Indiana Pacers (145-125) and a close win over the LA Clippers (117-116 OT). However, they also suffered defeats against the Dallas Mavericks (113-109) and Los Angeles Lakers (138-117).

When considering home and away performances, the Warriors have been stronger at home, holding a 3-1 record in their last four games at Chase Center. In contrast, the Heat have struggled on the road, with a 2-3 record in their last five away games. This trend could play a crucial role in the outcome of the game.
In terms of head-to-head encounters, the teams are currently tied at 1-1 this season. The Warriors secured a win earlier in the year at home (135-112) but lost in their previous meeting in Miami (96-110). This parity adds an extra layer of intrigue to the upcoming fixture, as both teams will be looking to gain an advantage in their series.
Injury reports indicate that both teams will be missing key players. The Warriors will be without Gui Santos, Kristaps Porzingis, and Moses Moody, all ruled out due to various injuries. Additionally, the Heat will miss Jimmy Butler III, who is also out with a knee injury. The absence of these players could significantly impact each team's strategy and performance on the court.
As for the betting lines, DraftKings has set the Warriors as 3.5-point favorites, with a moneyline of -167. The Heat's moneyline is at +140, indicating that they are viewed as the underdogs in this matchup. The total points line is set at 235.5, suggesting expectations for a high-scoring game.
Conditions at Chase Center are expected to be typical for an indoor basketball game, with no significant weather factors to consider. Fans can expect a competitive atmosphere as both teams vie for a crucial win early in the season.
Viewers should watch for Stephen Curry, who leads the Warriors with an average of 30.0 points per game, alongside Draymond Green, who is averaging 6.3 assists. For the Heat, Giannis Antetokounmpo is a key player to watch, averaging 28.2 points and 12.5 rebounds per game. The performance of these stars could be pivotal in determining the outcome of this exciting NBA matchup.
