With Burks joining Tyler Herro, Andrew Wiggins and Jaime Jaquez Jr. as questionable for Friday's game, the Heat's rotation will be dependent on the status of quite a few players. Herro, Wiggins and Jaquez Jr. missed Miami's game on Wednesday, which allowed Burks and Terry Rozier to start. If Burks joins the rest of them on the sidelines, Duncan Robinson could move into the starting lineup.
Jaquez Jr. has missed Miami's last three games, but there is a chance that he returns to the rotation against Minnesota. The Heat have dealt with multiple injuries on the perimeter recently, and Tyler Herro, Andrew Wiggins and Alec Burks are also questionable on Friday. Terry Rozier and Duncan Robinson would be in line for more minutes if Jaquez, and the other questionable players, are ruled out.
The Heat already have multiple contributors injured, and on Wednesday, they will also be without Tyler Herro (illness). Mitchell returns and will fill that vacancy, meaning Rozier gets another start. Both players are worth rostering in this spot due to the Heat's lack of available alternatives.
Wiggins is set to miss his third straight game Wednesday against the Cavaliers. With Jaime Jaquez Jr. also out, Alec Burks, Duncan Robinson and Terry Rozier could all see additional minutes.
Jaquez is set to miss his third straight game Wednesday against the Cavaliers. Alec Burks, Duncan Robinson and Terry Rozier could all see expanded roles with Andrew Wiggins also out. Ware missed Monday's game with a knee injury with Kevin Love taking his spot in the starting lineup.
