Miami is in jeopardy of playing without their Big Three once again. They lost to the Nets by 15 points, with Butler, Adebayo, and Herro sidelined.

Robinson and Highsmith are two of their best players outside of their star trio. Both of their contributions will be missed if they are unable to go.

For the Bucks, Middleton is a cornerstone of the organization but has been lackluster this season. He is averaging 11.6 points, 4.2 assists, and 3.9 rebounds.

Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo are picking up steam, posing a tall task for an injured Heat roster.
