Likely available versus Rockets Cain is joining the Heat in Houston and should be available for the evening's clash with the Rockets.
Impact Cain and Nikola Jovic have been recalled from the Skyforce ahead of Thursday's game, potentially signaling that multiple Miami players will sit out. Cain logged double-digit minutes for a brief stretch in November but doesn't figure to be a major contributor Thursday unless additional absences surface beyond the players already listed as questionable.

Likely available Thursday Jovic is rejoining the Heat in Houston and will likely be available for the evening's game versus the Rockets.
Impact Jovic had been with the team's G League affiliate, but the club has decided to call on him to join the team along with Jamal Cain, likely to provide additional rotational depth. Jovic's recall from the G League could signal that multiple Heat absences are expected.

Hits four threes in win Lowry contributed 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt), three rebounds and six assists over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 110-108 win over Oklahoma City.
Impact Lowry got off to a solid start Wednesday with 11 first-half points on 4-of-6 shooting before adding just one more bucket for three points in the second half. The Miami point guard dished out three of his six assists in the fourth quarter, one of which led to a three from Tyler Herro to tie the game up with under two minutes left. Lowry has posted at least six dimes in four of his last five contests, though he did log his second-lowest minutes total of the season with 29.

Expected to sit Thursday Oladipo is expected to sit out the second half of the Heat's back-to-back set Thursday in Houston for maintenance purposes, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Since making his season debut Dec. 6, Oladipo has suited up in each of Miami's subsequent five contests and is averaging 8.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 three-pointers and 0.8 steals in 22.6 minutes per contest during that stretch. While Oladipo doesn't appear to have suffered any recurrence of the left knee tendinosis that kept him sidelined to begin the campaign, the Wednesday/Thursday games mark the first back-to-back set he's encountered since his debut. Given Oladipo's injury history, look for the Heat to err on the side of caution and rest him Thursday.

Likely to sit Thursday Adebayo suggested after Wednesday's 110-108 win over the Thunder that he could sit out Thursday's game in Houston while he contends with soreness, Ira Winderman of the South Florid...
Impact Adebayo played 33 minutes in the front end of the back-to-back set, finishing with 15 points (5-13 FG, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and two steals. Though he doesn't appear to be dealing with a significant injury, Adebayo could probably benefit from a rest after playing 30-plus minutes on three occasions over the past five days. Additionally, the Heat are expected to have Jimmy Butler (knee) available for the second half of the back-to-back set, so resting Adebayo on Thursday wouldn't leave Miami completely shorthanded.

Records 13th double-double Adebayo closed with 15 points (5-13 FG, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 33 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 110-108 win over the Thunder.
Impact Adebayo had one of his poorer shooting nights Wednesday, going just 2-of-6 from the field and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line for eight first-half points. He was slightly more efficient in the second half with seven points on 3-of-7 shooting, but it was on defense where he shined down the stretch, collecting four rebounds and two steals in the final quarter to help seal the win for Miami. Adebayo now has 13 double-doubles on the season and four in his last six.

Drops 35 points, hits game-winner Herro posted 35 points (12-23 FG, 9-17 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 110-108 victory over the Thunder.
Impact Herro's only shot attempts in the first half came from beyond the arc where he went 6-of-9 for 18 points. He got off to a slow start after the break, going 1-of-6 from the field in the third quarter before hitting five of eight shot attempts for 12 points in the fourth, including a game-winning 19-foot pullup jumper with just five seconds to go. The Miami guard led the game in scoring with 35 points while also hitting game and season-high nine threes on the night. It was Herro's third time this season reaching the 30-point mark.
