In the series, he's averaging 8.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 26.5 minutes.

Kyle Lowry - Questionable Sunday Lowry (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's Game 7 against the Celtics.

Impact Lowry probably isn't at much risk of missing the do-or-die game despite the questionable tag. He struggled through Games 3, 4 and 5 but exploded for 18 points, 10 assists, four rebounds, one steal and one block across 37 minutes in Game 6.

Max Strus - Not his best effort despite win Strus produced 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 111-103 victory over the Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern C...

Impact Strus was one of four Heat starters that scored in double digits, and while his shooting numbers were far from eye-popping, he found a way to contribute on a night where Jimmy Butler was the only Miami player to reach the 20-point threshold. A hamstring injury has limited Strus recently, and that might have impacted his recent numbers. He's averaging just 8.3 points while shooting 30.4 percent from the field and 29.3 percent from beyond the arc in the current series against Boston.

Jimmy Butler - Shines in Game 6 victory Butler registered 47 points (16-29 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 11-11 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and four steals over 46 minutes during Friday's 111-103 win over the Celtics in G...

Impact Butler didn't score more than 13 points in any of the previous three games of the series, but he quieted all his doubters with a masterful performance in Game 6. The star forward picked up his spots efficiently, as he only needed 29 shots to come close to the 50-point plateau and was perfect from the charity stripe, but he also left his mark in other categories as well by ending just one rebound and two assists shy of a triple-double. While Butler is not likely to repeat these numbers Sunday in Game 7 of the series, the Heat need him at his best if they want a legitimate shot at reaching the NBA Finals for the second time in the last three seasons.

Impact Lowry had been awful so far in the series, but he stepped up his game when Miami needed him the most. The veteran point guard posted his first double-double of the series, and while he's not expected to put up these numbers on a regular basis, any sort of improvement will be an upgrade considering he averaged 4.7 points, 2.7 assists per tilt, 21.7 percent shooting and 2.3 turnovers per game through the first three games of the series.
