The Miami Heat are dealing with several injuries, most notably the status of Tyler Herro and Andrew Wiggins. Herro has been in fantastic form, leading the team in their recent 124-103 win over the Boston Celtics, where he scored 25 points, grabbed 6 rebounds, and recorded 9 assists.

Herro has been consistently scoring over 27 points in four of the last five games and will be crucial to the Heat's offense. He’s expected to play in this game against the Grizzlies.

On the other hand, Andrew Wiggins, who has been out since March 27 with tendinopathy in his right hamstring, is expected to miss the game. This adds to the Heat's injury concerns, as Wiggins has been a significant contributor when available.

Additionally, Nikola Jovic is listed as day-to-day with a hand injury, while Kevin Love is also day-to-day due to personal reasons. Duncan Robinson’s status is uncertain as he’s dealing with a back issue. Dru Smith is out for the season with an Achilles injury.

The Grizzlies are also missing some important players as they head into this matchup. Zyon Pullin and Vince Williams Jr. are both out due to knee and illness-related issues, respectively.

Brandon Clarke, another key player, is out for the season with a knee injury. Despite these setbacks, the Grizzlies will lean heavily on their star player, Ja Morant, who recently scored 36 points in their loss to the Golden State Warriors.

Morant's scoring ability will be essential if the Grizzlies are to snap their four-game losing streak. With several key players sidelined, Memphis will need to rely on their remaining roster to step up against a Heat team that has found momentum.

Game Outlook

With both teams missing key players, the game on Thursday could go either way. The Heat will look to continue their hot streak, but the Grizzlies, with Ja Morant leading the charge, will be determined to break their losing run.

The injury reports suggest the Heat have more concerns, especially without Wiggins, but Herro’s outstanding form offers Miami a strong chance. This game will be crucial for both teams as they continue their playoff push.
