Kyle Lowry - Listed as questionableLowry is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to left knee soreness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ImpactLowry has suited up for back-to-back games after returning from a month-long absence due to a knee injury. He played 19 minutes during Monday's win after playing 36 on Saturday, so the Heat will proceed cautiously to prevent potential setbacks. If Lowry is downgraded to out, Victor Oladipo, Max Strus and Duncan Robinson would be candidates for increased minutes.

Cody Zeller - Won't play WednesdayZeller (nose) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Grizzlies, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ImpactZeller will miss a second straight game after breaking his nose during Saturday's loss to Orlando. In his absence, Omer Yurtseven should operate as the backup center behind Bam Adebayo.

Kris Dunn - Stays in Utah rest of seasonDunn and the Jazz agreed Tuesday on a one-year contract, Tony Jones and Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ImpactWith Dunn's second 10-day deal lapsing, the Jazz will unsurprisingly keep the 28-year-old in the fold for the rest of the season after he's thus far proven to be an indispensable rotation piece off the bench since Utah's backcourt depth was gutted at the trade deadline and with the losses of Collin Sexton (hamstring) and Jordan Clarkson (finger) to injuries. Through his first nine games with Utah, Dunn has averaged 11.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.8 three-pointers and 0.6 blocks in 22.2 minutes per game while shooting 53.1 percent from the field. While that type of production would make Dunn a roster-worthy option in 12- and even 10-team category leagues if he can sustain it, he could see his minutes dip into the teens as soon as the Jazz's next game Saturday, when both Sexton and Clarkson could be available to play against the Celtics.

Tyler Herro - Pops for 18 in Monday's winHerro amassed 18 points (5-16 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Monday's 119-115 win over the Jazz.
ImpactSeven different Heat players scored in double digits on the night, but only Jimmy Butler provided more than Herro's 18. The fourth-year guard is having a solid March, averaging 19.0 points, 5.5 boards, 4.3 assists and 3.1 threes over eight games.

Gabe Vincent - Productive in Monday's startVincent produced 18 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals over 27 minutes during Monday's 119-115 win over the Jazz.
ImpactThe fourth-year guard has held onto a starting spot the last couple games while Kyle Lowry gets his legs back under him, and Vincent has scored in double digits in both to justify the decision by head coach Erik Spoelstra. He scored in single digits in six straight prior to that, however, and there's a good chance he could find himself on the bench sooner rather than later as the Heat jockey for playoff positioning over the final weeks.
