Per Heat: Tyler Herro (left ankle sprain) is questionable.
Victor Oladipo (knee) and Omer Yurtseven (ankle) have both been ruled out for tomorrow’s game vs. Trail Blazers.
Jimmy Butler returned to practice today. – 12:36 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Gabe Vincent, Dewayne Dedmon and Duncan Robinson again the first three players off the Heat’s bench tonight.
Erik Spoelstra shortened the rotation to eight players a few nights ago. Will he do it again with Jimmy Butler out? – 7:26 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
I said it a lot last game, but Kyle Lowry paint touches change the offense
Plus it’s so heavily needed without Jimmy Butler – 7:21 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Max Strus again starts in place of sidelined Jimmy Butler. Adebayo is good to go. Rest of Heat starters are Lowry, Herro and Martin. Inactive for Heat are Butler, Oladipo, Jovic and Yurtseven. – 6:33 PM

Heat’s Tyler Herro on NBA saying his game-winner against the Kings shouldn’t have counted, “I really don’t care.” sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-h… Also: Injury updates on Jimmy Butler, Nikola Jovic, Bam Adebayo. Plus, rookie Jamal Cain about to attempt an Indiana-Iowa back-to-back. – 12:24 PM

Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Jimmy Butler not traveling with the team to Indiana
So another night for Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo to take the reigns
Unless we get another Kyle Lowry big time step up – 3:12 PM
