The Miami Heat head to Scotiabank Arena on April 7, facing the Toronto Raptors with key players listed on the injury report.
Tyler Herro is probable with right foot soreness, while Norman Powell is also probable as he continues return-to-competition reconditioning. Nikola Jovic and Terry Rozier are both out, leaving Bam Adebayo, Andrew Wiggins, and the rest of the rotation available.
Toronto’s lineup is less certain, with Chucky Hepburn out recovering from right knee surgery. Sandro Mamukelashvili, Collin Murray-Boyles, and Immanuel Quickley are all questionable due to knee, quad, and foot issues, respectively.
The Heat are coming off a 152-136 home win over the Washington Wizards, after a 129-147 loss to the Boston Celtics. Miami ranks 10th in the Eastern Conference at 41-37, relying on Adebayo (20.2 PPG, 10.0 RPG) and Powell (22.1 PPG) to lead scoring and rebounding. Herro averages 21.4 points when active and remains a key contributor if he plays.
Toronto enters with a 43-35 record, positioned sixth in the East. The Raptors lost 101-115 to Boston but had a 128-96 win at Memphis in their prior outing.
Brandon Ingram leads the team at 21.3 points per game, while Scottie Barnes contributes 18.1 points and 7.5 rebounds. RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl provide additional scoring and inside presence.
This season, Toronto has dominated Miami in their previous matchups, winning both December meetings 106-96 and 112-91.
The game tips off at 7:30 PM ET, with both teams jockeying for playoff positioning.
