Miami Heat

Meanwhile, the Miami Heat have been in fine form as they've won five of their last eight games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back after getting routed by the Mavericks in a 111-92 loss on Wednesday. Tyler Herro led the team with 21 points, seven rebounds and six assists, Kevin Love added 16 points with 11 rebounds on six of nine shooting off the bench while Caleb Martin chipped in with 14 points and six assists. As a team, the Heat shot just 40 percent from the field and 13 of 30 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep pace with the red-hot Mavericks from the start and were never in the contest after falling behind by 69-47 going into halftime.
