The Miami Heat will remain shorthanded tonight when they host the Charlotte Hornets tonight at the AmericanAirlines Arena even with Jimmy Butler playing in his second game after missing 10 games.
The Hornets are at full strength but the Heat could have several important players still sitting out, including Tyler Herro who is questionable after his housemate tested positive for COVID-19 over the weekend as well as Goran Dragic and Avery Bradley. That could mean plenty of minutes in the backcourt available for the likes of Kendrick Nunn, Gabriel Vincent and Max Strus to make a positive impression on coach Erik Spoelstra.
