Friday, the Miami Heat make their first trip to TD Garden this season. The visitors arrive for the second half of a back-to-back. They beat the Brooklyn Nets, 106-95, at the Barclays Center on Thursday.
Adding to the challenge of playing two tilts in as many days is that Miami won't have three of its starters. Tyler Herro, Davion Mitchell, and Andrew Wiggins will not be in the lineup.
Herro is dealing with a toe injury. He had surgery on his left foot before the season. His recovery from that has limited him to being available for six of the Heat's 27 games.
