Can't let an injury-ridden team like Miami hang around and feel confident they can steal a game.

Without Whiteside, I think we have a good chance of covering that spread but it'll be close. |

Preview: Heat (11-14) at Lakers (16-10)
The Heat might also be short-handed.
Josh Richardson, the starting shooting guard for Miami and the team's leading scorer at 19.2 points a game, missed Saturday's game with a shoulder impingement. Tyler Johnson, who started in place of Richardson against the Clippers, left the game with a left hip contusion.
Goran Dragic also didn't play against the Clippers so he could rest, and Hassan Whiteside (personal reasons), Wayne Ellington (personal reasons) and Dion Waiters (ankle surgery) are not on the trip.
Miami coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters after the win against the Clippers that he's impressed with his team's perseverance.
"When you're coaching in this league, you want to have a group like this," Spoelstra said. "When they show up for shootaround and you know that even more guys are not playing, that guys look forward to the challenge instead of trying to make an excuse and get on to the next game. So we really had to show a tremendous amount of perseverance and grit in this, and get a lot of contributions. You can't just talk about grit, guys have to actually play well and step up." |

| Not sure about anyone else but it’s odd that Dragic missing all these games is all of a sudden good to go for the Lakers game, seems like there is some suspicious involved in this, why come back for the Lakers game? Why not wait ? Seems very strange... |

When you think about all those games were Dragic went off against the Lakers it definitely is, don’t get me wrong I love the feeling of beating a full Heat squad rather then take the easy road... so I’m excited for today’s game..
Let’s go Lakers  |

| If Lonzo can hold Dragic to less than 20 I will be impressed and change my opinion about him. |

The Heat will not be at full strength as Hassan Whiteside is ruled out. Just FYI. |

Dragic isn't fully healthy and averages under 20 PPG anyway. He's only played 1 game in the last month and it was for 21 mins so pretty sure Dragic could be held to under 20 by just about anyone =) |

I think Heat are a better team when Whiteside doesn’t play, Bam Adebayo is a better modern day big. |

The stretch of games he missed started with missing the game against the Lakers so its not like he can't miss a Lakers game. The game is still 5 hours away, he could still decide to sit out anyway.
All kinds of opponents have been missing Lakers games this year so it certainly doesn't seem like anyone is making any special effort to be healthy for them.

Strangely low bar to change an opinion. |

Who else enjoys the players only broadcast?
GA, Smitty, 3D and Candace do a good job, imo.
