Heat's Dru Smith: Iffy for Tuesday
Smith (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Smith continues to battle a nagging left hip contusion. Davion Mitchell (groin), who's expected to be available Tuesday, would likely pick up a few extra minutes if Smith cannot give it a go.

Heat's Pelle Larsson: Likely to play Tuesday
Larsson (hip) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Following a one-game absence Saturday against the Kings, Larsson practiced Monday and is likely to return to the floor Tuesday. Over his last 10 contests, the forward has averaged 7.8 points, 4.0 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 23.6 minutes per game.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Probable for Tuesday
Herro (toe) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
This is an expected update for Herro after he logged a full practice Monday. With Herro set to return from a two-game absence, Nikola Jovic could see his minutes heavily reduced, while Andrew Wiggins and Norman Powell could see less usage.

Heat's Pelle Larsson: Practices Monday
Larsson (hip) practiced Monday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
The Heat will provide an official injury designation for Larsson prior to Tuesday's game against the Magic. For now, the forward can be tentatively considered questionable to play.

Heat's Dru Smith: Sits out practice
Smith didn't practice Monday due to a left hip contusion, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Smith continues to manage the minor ailment, and it's possible he ends up being on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Magic. More playing time will become available for Davion Mitchell (groin) if Smith can't play.

Heat's Davion Mitchell: Expects to play Tuesday
Mitchell (groin) is expected to play Tuesday against the Magic, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Mitchell missed Saturday's game against the Kings, though it may have been maintenance-related after he played 28 minutes in the first half of Miami's back-to-back set against Orlando on Friday. He was a full participant at Monday's practice and will likely be back in the starting lineup to face the Magic on Tuesday.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Goes through practice
Herro (toe) participated in Monday's practice, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Herro was unable to play Saturday against the Kings, marking his second straight absence. He appears to be rounding the corner, however, and it sounds like the Heat could be getting several reinforcements back for Tuesday's game in Orlando.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Dishes out six assists Saturday
Jovic finished Saturday's 127-111 loss to Sacramento with 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six assists, two rebounds and one steal across 31 minutes.
After recording a DNP-CD in Friday's loss to Orlando, Jovic logged a season-high-tying 31 minutes with Tyler Herro (toe), Davion Mitchell (groin) and Pelle Larsson (hip) sidelined Saturday. Jovic wasn't extremely efficient but was still one of five Heat players to score in double figures. The 22-year-old forward also dished out a team- and season-high-tying six assists. Jovic has seen double-digit minutes just once through four games in December, so he isn't guaranteed significant playing time when the team is at full strength.

Heat's Andrew Wiggins: Adds 13 points in defeat
Wiggins supplied 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists over 26 minutes during Saturday's 127-111 loss to Sacramento.
Wiggins delivered an efficient performance from the floor and was one of just two Heat starters to score in double figures. However, he put up just 10 shot attempts for a second consecutive game, finishing with 13 points in each of them. The veteran forward has seen a dip in his scoring numbers to kick off December, averaging 14.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.8 blocks per contest across four games. Still, he has shot 46.2 percent from three-point range over that stretch.

Heat's Simone Fontecchio: Productive in loss
Fontecchio totaled 20 points (8-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and seven rebounds in 26 minutes during Saturday's 127-111 loss to the Kings.
With Tyler Herro (toe), Davion Mitchell (groin) and Pelle Larsson (hip) all unavailable, Fontecchio saw more than 25 minutes for just the second time this season. The 29-year-old forward made the most of the opportunity, setting a new season high in points while knocking down at least four triples for the fourth time this season. Fontecchio has seen the floor in four straight games, averaging 10.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 21.0 minutes per contest during that span.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Drops 27 points in loss
Jaquez chipped in 27 points (9-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 8-12 FT), six rebounds and six assists across 35 minutes during Saturday's 127-111 loss to the Kings.
With Tyler Herro (toe), Davion Mitchell (groin) and Pelle Larsson (hip) sidelined, Jaquez logged a season-high-tying 35 minutes off the bench. The third-year forward delivered an extremely efficient performance and led the Heat in scoring, while just two of the team's starters finished in double figures in the loss. Jaquez has recorded 20-plus minutes in four straight games, averaging 14.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 steals across 27.8 minutes per game during that span.

Heat's Norman Powell: Will play Saturday
Powell (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Kings, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Powell will suit up in the second leg of Miami's back-to-back set after tweaking his left ankle during Friday's loss to the Magic. Over his last five appearances, the veteran swingman has averaged 25.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 31.0 minutes per contest. With Tyler Herro (toe) and Davion Mitchell (groin) sidelined, the Heat will need Powell to take on more scoring and playmaking duties.

Heat's Dru Smith: To start Saturday
Smith will start Saturday's game against the Kings, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
The Heat previously threw Smith on the injury report with a probable tag related to a hip issue, but they will need the guard to step up in a big way Saturday -- Tyler Herro (toe) and Davion Mitchell (groin) have both been ruled out.

Heat's Davion Mitchell: Won't suit up Saturday
Mitchell (groin) will not play Saturday against the Kings, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Mitchell will join Tyler Herro (toe) and Pelle Larsson (hip) on the sidelines Saturday, as he was unable to clear his questionable tag. Dru Smith (hip) is probable, and he's likely to shoulder a heavy workload Saturday with the Heat so thin in the backcourt.

Heat's Pelle Larsson: Ruled out Saturday
Larsson (hip) will not play Saturday against the Kings, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Larsson was unable to shake his questionable tag for this contest, but he can be considered day-to-day going forward. With the Heat thin on the wings Saturday, Jaime Jaquez could be set for an extended workload.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Confirmed out for Saturday
Herro (toe) will not play Saturday against the Kings, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
No surprise here, as Herro was previously deemed doubtful for this contest. With Herro out for a second straight game, the Heat will need Norman Powell to absorb some usage. Additionally, Dru Smith could be more involved Saturday.
... See More ... See Less -
Heat's Pelle Larsson: Questionable for Saturday
Larsson is questionable to play Saturday against the Kings due to right hip flexor tightness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Tyler Herro (toe) is doubtful for Saturday's game and Davion Mitchell (groin) is questionable, so the Heat's backcourt could be very thin Saturday night. If neither of these guys can play, Dru Smith and Jaime Jaquez could see major minutes.

Heat's Davion Mitchell: Questionable for Saturday
Mitchell is questionable for Saturday's game versus Sacramento due to groin tightness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
The Heat have a matchup with the 5-17 Kings on the second leg of a back-to-back set, so Mitchell may take the night off. Miami won't host a shootaround Saturday, so Mitchell will essentially be a game-time call, and if he can't give it a go, Dru Smith could see major minutes as a starter.
