The host Miami Heat take on the Boston Celtics in Game 2 of the 2022 Eastern Conference Finals at FTX Arena on Thursday at 8:30 p.m. EST on ESPN.
Kyle Lowry remains out with a bothersome hamstring injury, his eighth missed game so far in the playoffs and fourth consecutive. Max Strus and Gabe Vincent appeared on the injury list with hamstring issues of their own, but are expected to play.
For Boston, it looks increasingly likely that starting point guard Marcus Smart will be ready to go in time for Game 2 after missing out the first game with a mid-foot sprain.
