Golden State Warriors vs Miami Heat Starting Lineups Tonight (Nov. 19) | 2025-26 NBA Season

The Golden State Warriors and Miami Heat will lock horns on Wednesday. The Warriors enter with a 9-7 record, eighth in the West, while the Heat are 8-6, seventh in the East. It will be their first meeting of the season.

The Warriors were on a three-game winning streak before Tuesday's 121-113 loss at the Orlando Magic. Steph Curry had 34 points and nine assists on 12-of-23 shooting with seven 3s, while Jimmy Butler scored 33 points and seven rebounds on 10 of 16 shots.

However, aside from Draymond Green, who scored 12 points and six assists, their supporting cast failed to produce the goods, resulting in the Warriors' seventh loss.

On the other hand, the Heat halted a two-game losing streak after beating the New York Knicks 115-113 at home on Monday. It was a collective effort in Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro's absences, as seven players scored in double digits. Norman Powell led the way with 19 points on 9 of 20 shots, while Davion Mitchell scored 18 on 7-of-12 shooting.

The Golden State Warriors and Miami Heat could both have depleted rosters for the game, potentially resulting in a starting lineup change. Here's a look at their predicted rotations.

Golden State Warriors vs. Miami Heat Starting Lineups and Depth Charts Tonight (Nov. 19)

Golden State Warriors starting lineup and depth chart

Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler are uncertain to play in the game. Curry said he was dealing with an ankle injury, which he reinjured against the Magic. He suffered the initial blow on Saturday at the Spurs. Meanwhile, Butler was unsure about his status despite having no injuries.

Al Horford and De'Anthony Melton will be sidelined. Horford isn't playing back-to-backs, while Melton is ramping up from ACL surgery. The Golden State Warriors could also miss Jonathan Kuminga, who is day-to-day with a knee injury, and Draymond Green, if the Warriors decide to rest the veterans.

Should all the injury probables suit up, the Warriors' starting lineup will include Steph Curry and Moses Moody in the backcourt, with Will Richard, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green as the frontcourt trio.

Quinten Post, Buddy Hield and Brandin Podziemski will lead the bench.

Miami Heat starting lineup and depth chart

The Miami Heat could receive a massive boost for the clash as Bam Adebayo is questionable to return after a six-game absence due to a toe injury.

The starting lineup could change if he plays, with Adebayo replacing Pelle Larsson. The rest of the lineup, including Davion Mitchell, Norman Powell, Andrew Wiggins and Kel'el Ware, will remain the same.

Larsson could lead the bench unit alongside Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fonecchio.
