Tyler Herro officially ruled out tonight, along with Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and Kyle Lowry
Max Strus and Kevin Love questionable
So looks like a Gabe Vincent-Victor Oladipo back-court
Then some run for Duncan-Caleb Martin-Haywood Highsmith-Cody Zeller-Yurtseven-Jamal Cain – 3:41 PM

Tyler Herro (quad) now also out for Heat. So Herro, Butler, Adebayo, Lowry out tonight in Washington. Strus (finger) and Love (rib) still questionable. Is there anything less compelling than Game 80 and beyond in the NBA season? – 3:28 PM

Tyler Herro downgraded from questionable to out. So, Heat will be without Bam Adebayo, Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry, Herro and Nikola Jovic tonight vs. Wizards (7 p.m., Bally Sports Sun).
Kevin Love and Max Strus remain questionable. – 3:22 PM

The Heat are sitting out Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Kyle Lowry tonight in Washington, apparently resigned to a No. 7 seed in East and play-in tournament. In addition, listed as questionable are Kevin Love, Max Strus and Tyler Herro. So buckle up for an Oladipo game. – 1:39 PM
