Miami Heat 2025-26 NBA Betting Lines
The 2024-25 season was a reality check for the Miami Heat. Miami was not even mediocre last season and lost most of the credibility that it had built with fans and gamblers from previous years. Indeed, the days of the Miami Heat being a serious NBA championship threat are over. However, the Heat are coming off a productive summer of quality offseason moves that may put them back on track. Miami reached the NBA Finals in 2020 and 2023 but has not threatened since then. Last year was the first losing season for Miami since the 2018-19 season, and the Heat were forced to the indignity of having to limp into the play-in round. Now, Miami is rebooting to get back into serious contender status for the years ahead.

Off-Season Moves for 2025-26
Key additions: Norman Powell, Kasparas Jakucionis
Key subtractions: Duncan Robinson, Kyle Anderson, Kevin Love
Miami, one of the best destination cities in the entire NBA, enters every offseason with high hopes for major improvements. The Heat once again fell short of those expectations, as Giannis Antetokounmpo and other major stars never became available. Not that the Heat had enough to trade for them anyway.
Instead, Miami turned the expiring contracts of Kyle Anderson and Kevin Love into Norman Powell, a 2025 All-Star snub for the Los Angeles Clippers. He gives them another quality player, along with Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, Andrew Wiggins, and a cast of prospects, which now includes Kasparas Jakucionis. The Heat are better than they were at last season's end, but they're still nowhere near where they want to be. Still, at least it is a start.
It was an opportunistic offseason for the Heat, who took advantage of the money saved by swapping Duncan Robinson for Simone Fontecchio to convert players on the fringes of their rotation into Norman Powell, who scored 21.8 points per game for the Clippers last season. Powell helps replace some of the scoring lost with Jimmy Butler's February departure and keeps Miami's books clear, at least for now, as the team eyes 2027 cap space.
Key Players
PG Tyler Hero was the 13th overall pick of the 2019 NBA Draft out of Kentucky by the Miami Heat. He was a first-time NBA All-Star in 2025. This past season, he averaged 23.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game.
C Bam Adebayo is a 3-time NBA All-Star. Adebayo averaged 18.1 points and 9.6 rebounds per contest this season.
Head Coach
Head coach Eric Spoelstra is in the elite class of NBA bench bosses. The one-time wonderkid is now in his mid-50s and a 2-time NBA champion. Spoelstra has been the head coach of the Heat since 2008-09 and is a disciple of former Heat coach and current team President Pat Riley, a Hall of Fame legend. His career record is 787-572.

Miami Heat History
The Miami Heat have had more success than any other professional sports team in South Florida. This is the one team largely supported by the fickle fans of the Miami metro area, and the Heat have been very competitive over the last two decades.
Dwyane Wade is the most accomplished player in the history of the franchise. He was taken with the 5th overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, and he was a 13-time All-Star and eight-time All-NBA selection who led the Heat to their first NBA title in 2006. Veterans Shaquille O’Neal, Alonzo Mourning, Gary Payton, and Antoine Walker played crucial roles. Still, Wade was the superstar, with franchise favorite Udonis Haslem coming into his own.
Of course, perhaps the best thing that Wade did was convince LeBron James and Chris Bosh to come to Miami in the summer of 2010. That made the Heat the preseason favorites to win the NBA title for four straight years. They could not live up to the lofty expectations of King James, who talked about winning seven championships during the introductory press conference. Still, they did win the Eastern Conference four straight times. Miami won back-to-back NBA titles in 2012 and 2013, yet the Heat needed a miracle three-pointer from Ray Allen to win the second title.
Miami wasn’t truly competitive for a few years after LeBron James left the team, but the Heat surprised everyone by winning the East in 2020. Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo proved to be an excellent combination, and Miami received solid three-point shooting from Duncan Robinson, Jae Crowder, and Tyler Herro. The Heat nearly made the NBA Finals again in 2022, but they lost to the Boston Celtics in seven games. In the 2023 NBA Finals, the Denver Nuggets beat Miami in five games.
