Usually returning from a 4 game road trip brings some hope for teams. But the Miami Heat (18-13) are about to enter one of the most interesting matchups of the season so far. They’ll be limping back home and will be without three starters (Butler, Adebayo, and Tucker) and continue to be without key contributors (Martin, Morris, Oladipo, and possibly Herro).
They finished their four-game trip 2-2 with a loss at Detroit on Sunday night. The Indiana Pacers haven’t played since THURSDAY! They’ve had FOUR entire days off before this matchup with the hurt, injured and tired Miami Heat.
