TORONTO -- The Miami Heat faces a difficult schedule to close out the regular season in an attempt to secure a playoff spot.
The task just became a little tougher now that the Toronto Raptors have All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry back in the lineup after he had been out since the All-Star break following right wrist surgery.
Lowry returned and recorded a double-double Wednesday, tallying 27 points and 10 assists in Toronto's 105-102 comeback win over the Detroit Pistons.
The Heat (38-40) play the Raptors (48-31) on Friday night at Air Canada Centre.
