Max Strus - Bumped out of rotationStrus accrued no statistics across three minutes of court time in Monday's 123-106 win over the Rockets.ImpactStrus had turned in solid averages of 12.8 points, 3.5 three-pointers, 3.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 27.0 minutes per game over the Heat's previous four contests, but he found himself out of the rotation Monday with Kyle Lowry (personal) back from a four-game absence and with Victor Oladipo (knee) gaining clearance for his season debut. Gabe Vincent and Strus were hurt most by the two returning players, as neither checked into the game until garbage time. In more competitive contests, Vincent and Strus don't look like they'll play at all, so long as all of the Heat's other key guards and wings are healthy and available.
