For the Heat, Tyler Herro and Norman Powell are officially listed as probable for this matchup, Herro with foot soreness, and Powell due to return to competition reconditioning. Meanwhile, Nikola Jovic will be out after injuring his ankle in ugly fashion over the weekend.
For the Raptors, Immanuel Quickley is questionable after missing several games with plantar fasciitis in his foot, while Collin Murray-Boyles is also questionable with a right quad contusion. Sandro Mamukelashvili is also listed as questionable with knee soreness.
Overall, this is a crucial game for both the Raptors and Heat. Miami is currently buried all the way back in tenth place in the Eastern Conference, but still has room to move up depending on how other teams fare down the stretch of the season.
Meanwhile, Toronto sits in sixth place in the East after the Philadelphia 76ers’ loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Monday evening, and they will want to win both games against Miami in order to hold strong and avoid having to partake in the play-in tournament. The Raptors trail the Hawks in fifth place by 1.5 games as the season enters its home stretch.
In any case, tipoff between the Heat and Raptors is set for Tuesday evening at 7:30 pm ET from Toronto.
