Butler played only seven minutes in the first quarter on Friday, not attempting a shot and dishing out two assists. During the second quarter, the Heat announced that he felt ill and would not return. If Butler misses more time, Terry Rozier and Jaime Jaquez Jr. will have added importance to the Heat.
Larsson has missed three games with a sprained ankle. Terry Rozier, Dru Smith and Jaime Jaquez Jr. have handled the perimeter bench minutes themselves. If Larsson were to miss Friday's game, Smith would make sense as a streaming option on a short slate.
Stewart injured his knee when he landed awkwardly after attempting to block a Terry Rozier shot with just over nine minutes remaining in the second quarter. While he could walk back to the locker room under his own power, Stewart did so with a noticeable limp. If Beef Stew misses time, starter Jalen Duren's minutes should increase, while the recently re-signed Paul Reed could find himself in the rotation.
Jovic hasn't been part of the rotation even when healthy recently, but he was able to log 24 minutes off the bench in this game and make a big impact. He fell one point shy of tying his season-high for points, which was encouraging to see after a mostly disappointing season. Jovic and Dru Smith (11/3/3/1) led the bench unit in this game with Pelle Larsson still sidelined and Terry Rozier still struggling. Jovic isn't worth adding off the waiver wire just because he played well in this game, but he's worth keeping an eye on.
Larsson will miss a third straight game, which will allow Terry Rozier, Dru Smith and Jaime Jaquez Jr. to dominate the perimeter minutes off the bench. Rozier and Smith have been playing larger roles than Jaquez, and Smith should be a sneaky streaming option with only three games being played.
