Game Total 204Key Storylines
Feeling the Heat: We know the Heat are a threat no matter where they finish in the standings, but it just seems like they aren’t playing well enough. Terry Rozier’s shooting remains inconsistent, Jimmy Butler seems to be in a slump again and Tyler Herro is apparently “hoping to return before the end of the regular season.” Duncan Robinson is out while Butler, Bam Adebayo and Nikola Jovic are all questionable at the time of writing, so we may need some Erik Spoelstra magic in this one.
Not so Cavalier Cavs: Through all the injuries, the Cavs still seem to be a serious problem. They remain the third seed in the East and the next man up is always ready, so this game has the potential to produce some nice fantasy streamers, even if it is a low-scoring contest.
Stream of the Game
Caleb Martin of the Heat is a bit of a jack of all trades, master of none and he can give you some points, treys, rebounds or defensive stats (probably not at the same time) depending on how he feels, but the opportunity should be there with 30-plus minutes on his plate being likely.
Alternatives: Georges Niang for 3-pointers, Isaac Okoro for steals and a trey or two and whoever starts for the Heat (Thomas Bryant if Adebayo is out, Jaime Jaquez Jr., etc).
