Questionable to face OKC

Herro is in jeopardy of missing the second half of Miami's back-to-back set due to a right big toe contusion and a right rib contusion. The star guard has appeared in two straight matchups following an 11-game absence due to the toe injury, averaging 19.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 30.5 minutes per contest over that stretch. If Herro is ultimately ruled out, Pelle Larsson and Kel'el Ware are candidates to enter the starting five, while Dru Smith could also see a bump in minutes.

Season-worst scoring effort

It was the first time all season Powell failed to score in double digits, and he didn't re-enter the game after exiting late in the third quarter with the Heat down by 19 points. Prior to that disappointing performance, the veteran wing has delivered more than 20 points in seven straight games, averaging 26.4 points, 3.9 threes, 3.1 boards, 3.0 threes and 1.1 steals while shooting 52.9 percent from the floor and 47.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Drops team-high 21 in Indiana

The 21 points led the Heat on the night, as only three of his teammates even scored in double digits. It was Herro's first start since Dec. 9, and just his second game back from a toe injury that cost him 11 contests. He's still looking for his rhythm from long range, having gone 2-for-12 on three-point attempts since getting back on the court, and on the season he's averaging 22.1 points, 5.8 boards, 2.6 assists, 2.1 threes and 0.9 steals in 31.5 minutes a game.
