Heat vs. Celtics injury report: Key starter will likely be out for Miami

The Miami Heat will likely be without Davion Mitchell in an important matchup with the Boston Celtics on Thursday night.

The Heat will look to pick up their second consecutive win at home Thursday night when they welcome their Eastern Conference rivals to South Beach. The matchup will be Miami's second of a three-game homestand, following a pitiful three-game road swing.

On Tuesday, earlier this week, the Heat beat the Phoenix Suns 127-121 to kick off the home stand. It was one of Miami's most important wins of the year, given their recent struggles, Bam Adebayo's scoring woes, and the fact that the win came against a team many would consider the superior opponent.
