Heat's Kyle Lowry: Another solid showing in win
Lowry dropped 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and a block in 25 minutes during Thursday's 142-132 win over the Pacers.
Thursday night was Lowry's seventh straight contest in which he made multiple three-pointers, averaging 14.1 points, 4.1 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 0.3 blocks (while shooting a remarkable 47.7 percentage from three) across 30.0 minutes in that span. As the team's main facilitator, expect Lowry to maintain a similar workload for the remainder of the season, though Tyler Herro's (ankle) impending return could change things.

Heat's Jimmy Butler: Probable for Saturday
Butler (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Butler returned from a two-game absence Thursday against Indiana and posted 36 points, 10 rebounds and three assists in 38 minutes during the win. Although he continues to deal with the ankle issue, he'll likely be able to suit up for Saturday's rematch.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Ruled out
Adebayo (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against the Pacers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Adebayo left Thursday's win over the Pacers after playing just 12 minutes due to a hip injury. The issue plagued the big man for a few days before Thursday, so it's not surprising to see Miami exercise caution and keep him sidelined for a game. Adebayo's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Toronto, while Thomas Bryant, Orlando Robinson and Kevin Love are candidates for increased roles in the frontcourt during a rematch versus Indiana.

Heat's Josh Richardson: Drops 19 off bench
Richardson closed with 19 points (8-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 142-132 win over the Pacers.
The veteran guard has scored in double digits in six straight games, and Richardson has become a key figure in Miami's backcourt with Tyler Herro (ankle) sidelined. Richardson is averaging 30.1 minutes over 11 games without Herro in the lineup, supplying 12.5 points, 3.5 assists, 2.9 boards, 1.5 threes and 0.8 steals over that stretch. With Herro inching closer to a return, Richardson's run of deep-league fantasy utility could be ending soon.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Hits for career-high 24
Jaquez closed Thursday's 142-132 win over Indiana with 24 points (8-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes.
It was a career-best scoring effort for the 18th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, as Jaquez continues to take advantage of Tyler Herro's absence due to an ankle injury. The 22-year-old wing is averaging 32.4 minutes in 11 games since Herro was sidelined, posting 16.0 points, 4.6 boards, 3.0 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.0 steals with a 53.8/46.2/90.0 shooting line that belies his status as a rookie. Herro should be back in the lineup early in December, but Jaquez doesn't figure to give up his increased role in the rotation easily.

Heat's Jimmy Butler: Erupts for 36 in wild win
Butler produced 36 points (9-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 18-20 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists over 38 minutes during Thursday's 142-132 win over the Pacers.
The veteran forward tied his season high in scoring and produced his second double-double of the campaign as he carried the load for a Heat roster that's still without Tyler Herro (ankle) and which saw Bam Adebayo (hip) play only 12 minutes Thursday. Butler had missed the last two games due to an ankle injury, but his short-term usage figures to skyrocket if Adebayo is forced to miss additional time. In eight appearances since Herro was sidelined, Butler's averaging 24.6 points, 4.6 boards, 4.4 assists, 1.3 threes and 1.0 steals.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Won't return due to hip issue
Adebayo will not return to Thursday's game against the Pacers after getting hit in the hip. He finished with seven points (3-9 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 12 minutes.
This is the same hip that has been giving him problems for several days. If Adebayo is unable to play in Saturday's rematch against Indiana, we could see more of Caleb Martin. The Heat are deploying some smaller lineups in Thursday's game.
