Haywood Highsmith

Butler missed Miami's last two games due to a stomach illness and is unlikely to be ready to return on Thursday. Who replaces him in the starting lineup has changed by the game, with Haywood Highsmith receiving the nod in Monday's win over the Nets. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Duncan Robinson, the latter already being a starter, will also be worth streaming consideration.

With Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier sidelined, there will be some new faces in Miami's starting unit. Both Jaquez Jr. and Highsmith will be back in the opening lineup, which will push Dru Smith and Nikola Jovic back to the bench. Expect Smith and Pelle Larsson to play a significant role off the bench.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra has made two changes to his starting lineup, one of which was prompted by an injury. Smith steps in for Jimmy Butler, who is out with a stomach illness. The other change is Jovic, who will replace Haywood Highsmith. Of the two replacements in the starting lineup, Smith offers slightly higher streaming potential.
