Injuries have decimated the Heat’s roster on this trip. Here’s why it’s hard for the Heat to add outside reinforcement at the moment miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia… The good news for the Heat is it’s expected to get Adebayo, Robinson and Dedmon back tonight – 6:18 PM

FINAL: Virginia 70, Illinois 61
Cavaliers showed great composure down the stretch and played terrific defense to close out game against Illini. Reece Beekman was awesome in the closing minutes.
Virginia knocks off Baylor and Illini here in Vegas. Worthy of Top 5 ranking today. – 5:07 PM

At this point, there’s no clarity on #Cavs Kevin Love being able to play tonight against Miami. I’m told Love is going to test his injured thumb in a pregame workout and see how it feels. The team will also take into account whether it can be protected. – 2:39 PM
