Gabe Vincent goes from back end of rotation on Monday to starting in place of Jimmy Butler tonight. Opening lineup rounded out with Bam Adebayo, Kyle Lowry, Duncan Robinson, PJ Tucker. The move keeps Caleb Martin with reserves. – 7:01 PM

Greetings from Miami, where the top two teams in the NBA (by conference) meet tonight. The Heat’s Jimmy Butler is questionable, due to ‘sinus congestion.’ The Suns’ Devin Booker returns from the league’s COVID protocol. We’ll see if he was stuffy too. @The Athletic – 5:03 PM
