Tuesday night at the Kaseya Center, the Miami Heat (26-24) take on the Orlando Magic (27-23) in a matchup.
The Heat have defeated the Los Angeles Clippers by eight points in their most recent game, having won two of their previous three meetings. They are one seed behind the Magic in the Eastern Conference standings, having won their last three games.
This is the report on injuries:
HEAT: R.J. Hampton: G League – Two-Way – Ousted.
Tyler Herro: Most likely suffering from a migraine
Duncan Robinson: The Concussion Protocol Is Dubious
Dru Smith: Gone –
Magic: Right Knee Surgery
Kevon Harris: Out – Two-Way – G League
Jett Howard: Finished – G League – On Loan
G League – Trevelin Queen: Out – Two-Way
Robinson and Herro were mostly absent from the Clippers game. The Heat restricted LA’s all-star offense to their lowest point total since November 12 while scoring fewer than 100 points.
With just 8 of 30 three-pointers made against the Clippers, the Heat’s spacing was unimpressive. The possibility of the guard duo blocking an outside shot still exists, even if they are not very effective that evening. Moving forward Jimmy Butler is also freed from the pressure to score frequently and is able to do so in spurts.
The Magic have a fully healthy roster, so the Heat are up against another audacious task at home.
