Warriors Host Heat In High-Stakes NBA Showdown Tonight

The Golden State Warriors are set to put their three-game home winning streak on the line as they host the Miami Heat in a highly anticipated NBA matchup at Chase Center in San Francisco on Monday, January 19, 2026. Both teams enter the contest with plenty of momentum and storylines, making this clash one of the most intriguing games of the week.

Tipoff is scheduled for 10:00 p.m. ET, with television coverage available on FanDuel Sports Network Sun, NBC Sports Bay Area, and FDSSUN. Fans can also catch the action streaming on Fubo, ensuring nobody misses a minute of what promises to be a high-octane showdown.

The Warriors, currently standing at 24-19, have been on fire at home, notching three straight wins at Chase Center. Their latest victory was a historic one, as Golden State set an NBA record by having 10 different players make a three-pointer in each of their last three games. The most recent triumph saw them dispatch the Charlotte Hornets 136-116, with De’Anthony Melton pouring in 24 points off the bench and Draymond Green chipping in 20. Brandin Podziemski added 16 points and seven assists, while Buddy Hield contributed 14 points and three blocks. Will Richard also made his mark with 11 points and three steals.

This three-point barrage has been a key factor in Golden State’s recent success. As the team’s star, Stephen Curry, continues to lead the way with an impressive average of 27.6 points per game, the supporting cast is stepping up in a big way. Curry’s efficiency remains elite, shooting 47% from the floor and 38.6% from beyond the arc, where he drains 4.5 threes per contest, tops in the NBA.

Golden State’s offense averages 116.2 points per game, just 1.7 fewer than Miami allows (117.9). The Warriors’ defense, meanwhile, is among the NBA’s stingiest, surrendering 113.3 points per contest, good for ninth in the league. Their ability to share the ball is evident as well, with 28.6 assists per game, ranking sixth overall, and their 9.5 steals per outing put them fourth in the NBA.

But the Heat, sitting at 22-20, have their own reasons to be confident. Miami is coming off a thrilling 122-120 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, a game that saw Andrew Wiggins hit a clutch three-pointer with just 31 seconds remaining to seal the victory. Bam Adebayo was sensational, posting 30 points and 12 rebounds while knocking down a career-high six three-pointers. Norman Powell continued his strong season with 19 points, and Pelle Larsson added 16. The Heat accomplished this despite missing key contributors Tyler Herro (toe/rib), Jaime Jaquez Jr. (knee), and Davion Mitchell (shoulder), though both Jaquez Jr. and Mitchell have since been cleared to play against Golden State.

Miami’s offense is potent, averaging 119.5 points per game—fifth-best in the league and 6.2 more than the Warriors typically allow. Powell leads the way with 23.8 points per game, followed by Adebayo’s 17.4. The Heat also get significant production from Andrew Wiggins (15.8 points), Jaime Jaquez Jr. (15.9 points), and Kel’el Ware, who contributes 11.5 points and 9.9 rebounds per outing. Davion Mitchell is a key playmaker, averaging 7.3 assists.

Both teams are dealing with injuries, which could play a role in the outcome. For Miami, Tyler Herro remains sidelined with a toe injury, and Terry Rozier is out for personal reasons. However, Erik Spoelstra’s squad will be buoyed by the returns of Jaquez Jr. and Mitchell, who were both listed as probable but have been cleared to play. On the Warriors’ side, Draymond Green, De’Anthony Melton, Gui Santos, and Seth Curry are all out, but Jimmy Butler is available after missing the previous game for personal reasons.

“After the Boston game there was just utter frustration and anger after that game, where we felt like we outplayed them for the overwhelming majority of the game and lose the game, so there was a lot of that fueling us, and this was a by-any-and-whatever-means-necessary game, whatever it takes,” said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, reflecting on his team’s mindset following their hard-fought win over Oklahoma City, as reported by Miami Heat On SI.

This game marks the second and final regular season meeting between the two teams. Miami took the first matchup convincingly, 110-96, on November 19, 2025. The Heat have had the upper hand in recent years, sweeping last season’s series and winning five of the last six games against the Warriors. Historically, the all-time regular season series is even at 37-37, but Golden State holds a 22-15 advantage at home.

Betting lines have Golden State favored by 5 points, with the over/under set at 239.5—a nod to both teams’ high-powered offenses. The Warriors have been favorites in 32 games this season, winning 62.5% of those contests. Miami, meanwhile, has thrived in the underdog role, winning 45.8% of its 24 games as the betting outsider. The Heat have also been strong against the spread, covering in 24 of 42 games, including seven of 12 as an underdog of five points or more.

Projected starters for the Heat include Davion Mitchell, Norman Powell, Bam Adebayo, Pelle Larsson, and Andrew Wiggins. For the Warriors, look for Stephen Curry, Moses Moody, Quinten Post, Will Richard, and Jimmy Butler III to take the floor at tipoff.

With both teams boasting dynamic offenses and plenty of star power, fans can expect a fast-paced, high-scoring affair. The Warriors’ recent three-point shooting exploits and the Heat’s resilience in the face of injuries set the stage for a compelling contest. Will Golden State’s home-court advantage and historic shooting continue, or will Miami’s recent dominance in the head-to-head series prevail once more?

As the action tips off at Chase Center, all eyes will be on how these two playoff hopefuls measure up in this critical midseason battle. With postseason positioning and pride on the line, neither side is likely to give an inch. Stay tuned—this one promises fireworks right down to the final buzzer.
