Tyler Herro is averaging 20.4 points a game this season off the bench, which leads the league
Kelly Oubre is next on that list at 16.2 PPG
The gap between 1st and 2nd is the same as 2nd and 14th
Yeah, the 6th man of the year award is Tyler Herro’s to win, no doubt about that – 6:09 PM

Even with COVID-19 replacement players on the way, tonight’s Heat-Spurs game was postponed because the Heat did not have enough available players due to COVID-19 and injury issues.

On the Dejounte Murray front: The only way he’d be available to play against the Grizzlies Friday is if he returns two negatives within a 24-hour period prior to the game. Otherwise he’ll still be in protocols (assuming Sunday is Day Zero). – 4:07 PM

Heat is scheduled to fly to Houston tonight, but still unclear if those plans remain with everything going on. Game vs. Rockets is Friday, so the team could technically just leave tomorrow. – 4:01 PM

On positive note for Spurs, it’s more rest for them before long road trip and gives Lonnie chance to heal without possibly missing a game. He was doubtful for tonight with a bruised knee. – 3:56 PM

Apparently the final straw that forced the Heat’s postponement is that the players they tried to bring in could not be cleared from protocols. – 3:56 PM

Heat will likely have enough to play Friday vs. Rockets, as of now. Lowry may be cleared by then since his six-day quarantine runs through Thursday, and Butler’s injury not expected to be long-term issue.
Also, this morning’s round of testing did not result in any new positives. – 3:55 PM
