Kyle Lowry - Leads Heat in scoringLowry produced 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, five assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Friday's 111-99 loss to the Cavaliers.
ImpactLowry usually takes a backseat when it comes to shooting volume, though he took more of the load Friday with Jimmy Butler and Duncan Robinson struggling from the floor. With Bam Adebayo (hip) and Tyler Herro (ankle) still out, Lowry figures to continue seeing more playing time and opportunities to contribute on the offensive end of the floor.

Kevin Love - Notches double-double off pineLove logged 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), 12 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 111-99 loss to the Cavaliers.
ImpactThe 35-year old forward out of UCLA continues to provide value off the Miami bench. Love has scored in double-digits in two of his last three games and his 28 minutes played Friday was a season-high. He should continue to get more looks on offense as long as Bam Adebayo remains out with a bruised left hip.

Duncan Robinson - Barely avoids donut in lossRobinson produced one point (0-7 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one assist in 23 minutes during Friday's 111-99 loss to Cleveland.
ImpactRobinson entered Friday's game with a groin injury he sustained in Wednesday's win over the Raptors. That may have played a big part in his ice-cold shooting performance against the Cavs, though he wasn't the only Heat starter to struggle from the field. Still, Robinson entered Friday's game averaging career highs in points (15.0) and field goal shooting (48.8 percent) as he takes a more prominent role in the offense with Tyler Herro (ankle) still out.

Max Strus - Ice cold in winStrus amassed 11 points (4-17 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 111-99 win over the Heat.
ImpactStrus accounted for nine of the Cavalier's 24 missed three-point attempts Friday night. He still managed to reach double-digit points for the sixth time in seven games and is averaging career highs in rebounds (5.5), assists (4.1) and minutes (35.1) as his role continues to expand.

Darius Garland - Pickpocket in winGarland recorded 18 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds, six assists and four steals in 26 minutes during Friday's 111-99 victory over Miami.

Garland entered Friday's game averaging 19.7 points per game and has scored 18-plus points in five of his last six games. His 26 minutes was his lowest since Nov. 25, but prior to Friday's contest he had played at least 34 minutes in five straight games.
