The Miami Heat (44-36) are facing off against the Toronto Raptors (25-55) on Friday evening.

The Heat are coming off a 19-point loss to the Dallas Mavericks at the hands of superstar tandem Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Meanwhile, the Raptors have lost nine of their last 11 games, the latest of which to the Brooklyn Nets.

Here's the injury report:

HEAT

Tyler Herro: Available - Right Foot Medial Tendinitis 

Nikola Jovic: Available - Right Ankle Sprain 

Kevin Love: Available - Left Ankle Sprain

Josh Richardson: Out - Right Shoulder Surgery 

Duncan Robinson: Out - Left Facet Syndrome 

Terry Rozier: Questionable - Neck Spasm

RAPTORS

Scottie Barnes: Out - Left Hand Fracture Third Metacarpal 

Chris Boucher: Out - Right Knee Partial MCL Tear 

Bruce Brown: Questionable - Right Knee Inflammation 

D.J. Carton: Out - Right Ankle Sprain 

Jakob Poeltl: Out - Left Hand Torn Ligament; Fifth Finger 

Jontay Porter: Out - Personal Reasons 

Gary Trent Jr.: Questionable - Back Spasms

Robinson's injury is forcing inconsistencies in his availability, missing seven of their last 12 matchups. He struggled on the offensive end while healthy throughout the span, scoring less than 11 points in each game. The seriousness of Rozier's injury became apparent when he rested the entire fourth quarter against the Indiana Pacers. The star guard was firing on all levels prior, which Heat fans hope will pick up once the postseason comes around.
