The Miami Heat (11-9) are facing off against the Toronto Raptors (9-11) on Wednesday evening in Toronto.

The Heat are coming off a disappointing 15-point loss to the Indiana Pacers on Saturday. On the other hand, the Raptors fell short to the New York Knicks, 119-106, on Friday.

Herro is likely nearing a return from injury, which is crucial to their success. He is arguably the Heat’s top scorer. His return to the lineup will allow Adebayo to focus on the defensive end of the floor.

Adebayo’s hip injury is a concern moving forward, as it has kept him sidelined on multiple occasions. The All-Star big man is the cornerstone of Miami’s defense, leading Indiana to record 144 points in their second matchup.

Without any major injuries, the Raptors hold a chance of taking down a banged-up Heat roster.
