"They could be without the services of both their All-Star's in Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro. Adebayo is listed as doubtful with sudden back soreness in the midst of his recent struggles offensively. As for Herro, he is set to miss his 25th game out of 31 total for the Heat this season while he still deals with his toe injury."
"However, Miami is expected to have Pelle Larsson and Nikola Jovic back from their own injuries tonight. With Adebayo likely sidelined, expect Larsson to resume his starting duties from earlier this season. Miami will enter the night at a .500 record of 15-15, as the Hawks are currently 15-16. This matchup will have immediate implications on the tight East standings."
