However, the Denver Nuggets were defeated on Monday. Here is the injury report: HEAT Jimmy Butler: Questionable – Left calf strain Kyle Lowry: Questionable – tenderness Caleb Martin: Doubtful – sprained right ankle Josh Richardson: Doubtful – Lower back discomfort Duncan Robinson: Doubtful – sprained left ankle Dru Smith: Out – Right Acl 3rd degree sprain WARS Draymond Green: Out – League suspension Gary Payton II: Outside – right calf Heat can be a rude awakening when most participants are turned off. Butler has missed their last three games in which Miami is 3-0. The possible absences of Lowry, Richardson and Robinson are crucial. Their backcourt entered the night shorthanded, with Tyler Herro as the only scoring option. Meanwhile, Golden State is almost completely healthy. Despite their health, key contributors Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins will struggle this year. The Warriors’ recent dominance could end the Heatand#039’s winning streak.
