The Miami Heat (43-22) continue their seven-game homestand at the FTX Arena when they host the Houston Rockets (16-48) tonight.
While any game at this late point in the season is important for playoff positioning, tonight’s biggest storyline will be the expected return of Victor Oladipo who hasn’t played since April 8, 2021 and will face his former team that traded him to Miami last year. He has missed 89 games since, so even with the absence of Kyle Lowry he won’t be playing big minutes right away of course — but there’s an opening there for some quality time on the court alongside reserves Tyler Herro, Caleb Martin and Max Strus.
