With Lowry and Dedmon out tonight, the Heat are rolling with a four-man bench unit of Herro, Robinson, Martin and Yurtseven.
So no Oladipo. – 8:10 PM

This type of Duncan Robinson is the perfect boost off the bench to push this team over the top offensively
Question is how often you’ll get this version – 8:09 PM

Duncan, Martin, Yurtseven seem to be rounding out the 9 man rotation with Herro
Yet again, Dipo and Morris seem to be situational – 8:05 PM

Just through eye test, they have really increased Tucker-Herro DHO’s as of late since the substitution pattern shift
Just a great combo and change of pace
Herro just needs a sliver of space, and Tucker lays that first guy out – 8:02 PM
