The Heat will also be without Victor Oladipo, as he is still recovering from an injury he suffered earlier this season against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Adebayo came up big in Sunday’s win over the Brooklyn Nets as he scored 21 points and hit the game-winning jumper to improve Miami to 29-28 on the season.

The Heat are still just the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference, and they could have their hands full without Herro, Butler and Adebayo.

The Rockets are just 15-42 this season, but the Heat will have to rely heavily on Goran Dragic, Duncan Robinson, Kendrick Nunn and others for offense.

Miami would love to make a push down the stretch of the 2020-21 season to avoid the league’s play-in tournament for the postseason.
