Adebayo sat out the win over Cleveland, but the Heat had no trouble cruising to the win. Thomas Bryant, Kevin Love, and Haywood Highsmith will hold down the frontcourt if Adebayo is unable to play.
Robinson is a new addition to the report, playing 24 minutes against the Cavaliers. He recorded seven points, three assists, and two rebounds on 42.9 percent shooting. Miami will have shooting troubles against the Knicks without Robinson and Herro.
