Golden State Warriors vs. Miami Heat: Tipoff, Injury Report and NBA TV — Nov. 5, 2026
Timestamp: Checked Friday, November 6, 2026, at 5:00 a.m. Indochina Time (ICT, UTC+07:00; Thursday, November 5, at 10:00 p.m. UTC).
The Golden State Warriors host the Miami Heat at Chase Center in San Francisco on Thursday, November 5, with tipoff scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST, UTC−08:00). That is 10:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−05:00) and 03:00 UTC on Friday, November 6. The NBA’s game listing names NBA TV as a broadcaster. The latest official injury report lists Miami’s Giannis Antetokounmpo as available despite a right wrist sprain and confirms four Warriors are out.
Golden State enters on a five-game winning streak after beating Phoenix 116–113 on Monday. The Warriors are 5–3, while Miami is 3–5. Starting lineups had not been confirmed in the NBA game center at this check, and the game had not started, so no score is available yet.

When do the Warriors and Heat tip off?
The NBA game page lists Thursday, November 5, at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time, while the Warriors’ event details give the San Francisco start as 7:00 p.m. PST. Those are the same moment: 10:00 p.m. EST is 7:00 p.m. PST. The NBA event record gives the corresponding UTC time as 03:00 on Friday, November 6, so viewers using UTC should note the change of date.
San Francisco is on Pacific Standard Time (UTC−08:00) on November 5. The United States ended daylight saving time on November 1, 2026, when clocks moved back to standard time. This matchup is therefore not at 7:00 p.m. PDT. If you are watching from another location, convert from 03:00 UTC or check a local schedule that states its time zone.
Where is Miami vs. Golden State being played?
Golden State is the home team, and the game is at Chase Center in San Francisco. The Warriors’ official event details list the arena and date. The game is part of the 2026–27 NBA regular season; the official NBA matchup page is the best place to recheck the venue, status, and game information on the day.
Who is available for the Heat and Warriors?
The latest linked NBA injury report was issued at 4:45 p.m. Eastern Time on November 5, 2026; the official report page was checked again at 5:00 p.m. Eastern. Miami lists Antetokounmpo as available with a right wrist sprain. The report also lists two-way players Tre Donaldson and Vladislav Goldin as out under the G League–Two-Way designation, with no injury reason given. No other Heat player is listed as out or questionable for this game.
Golden State’s report lists four players as out:
Warriors player
Official status and listed reason
Jimmy Butler III
Out — right ACL repair/surgery
Moses Moody
Out — left patellar tendon repair/surgery
Kristaps Porzingis
Out — not with team
Gui Santos
Out — left knee tendinitis
These are the statuses on the official report at the timestamp above; availability can change before tipoff. Check the NBA injury report and team channels again for any later update. The Warriors’ game preview also names the same four absences. Neither the NBA game center nor the club information reviewed for this update had confirmed starting fives, so any projected lineup should be treated as unconfirmed.
What is at stake in the matchup?
The Warriors are trying to extend a five-game streak to six and improve on a 5–3 start. Their previous game was a 116–113 win over Phoenix, with Stephen Curry scoring 34 points, according to Golden State’s recap. The Heat arrive after a Wednesday game against the LA Clippers, the first night of a West Coast back-to-back, and are 3–5 going into this visit.
The matchup also brings Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins back to Chase Center as members of Miami. Both were key contributors to Golden State’s 2022 championship, and the Warriors’ official preview notes their return. That adds a personal thread to a regular-season game, but the immediate standings impact is straightforward: a Warriors win would make their streak six and move them to 6–3; a Miami win would put the Heat at 4–5. Those are conditional outcomes, not a prediction.
How can fans watch or follow Warriors vs. Heat?
The NBA’s game page lists NBA TV for Heat at Warriors. Golden State’s November 2 recap also lists NBC Sports Bay Area (NBCSBA) for its Bay Area broadcast. Availability and blackout rules depend on the viewer’s location and subscription, so confirm the matchup with the provider serving your territory before tipoff. The NBA game center includes a “How to Watch” option and the official broadcast listing.
For confirmed starters when they are posted, live scoring, play-by-play, box score, and the final result, use the official NBA game center. The NBA’s injury-report page links the latest dated report PDFs. Those are the sources to check for a late status change rather than relying on a projected lineup.
Is there a final score yet?
No. At the timestamp above, the game was still scheduled for later Thursday evening in San Francisco. The NBA game center had not posted a final score or confirmed starting lineups. After tipoff, the same page will provide the live score and box score; after the final buzzer, use its final status and team totals to confirm the result.
