"Now they will look to build on that legitimate statement win going into their five-game West Coast road trip- starting with a matchup versus Jimmy Butler's Golden State Warriors. The Heat come into the game sporting a 22-20 record, as 24-19 Golden State has hit a stride as of late. They have won seven of their last 10 games and coming off a 20-point blowout victory over the Charlotte Hornets."
"Injury Report (at the time of this publishing): Golden State Warriors: Seth Curry (sciatic) - OUT Draymond Green (ankle) - PROBABLE De'Anthony Melton (knee) - OUT Gui Santos (ankle) - OUT Miami Heat: Tyler Herro (toe, rib) - OUT Davion Mitchell (shoulder) - PROBABLE Jaime Jaquez Jr. (knee) - PROBABLE Vlad Goldin (g-league) - OUT Jahmir Young (g-league) - OUT Terry Rozier (not with team) - OUT"
"Butler has been a key piece to the Warriors' since his trade departure from Miami a year ago. Over the past six games, he is averaging 23 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.5 steals on elite efficiency of 54% shooting. However, the Warriors have yet to beat the Heat since Butler arrived (0-2). Miami blew out Golden State earlier this season in a game that all three of Butler, Steph Curry and Draymond Green were sidelined due to injury."
Miami scored its biggest win of the 2025-26 season by upsetting reigning champion OKC at home and is the only team to beat both conference number-one seeds, including Detroit. The Heat begin a five-game West Coast road trip against Jimmy Butler's Golden State, carrying a 22-20 record against the Warriors' 24-19. Golden State has won seven of its last 10 and boasts Butler averaging 23 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.5 steals over six games on 54% shooting. Miami faces key absences, most notably Tyler Herro (toe, rib) and multiple probable/out listings across both rosters.
