Herro and Love remain sidelined, with the former Sixth Man of the Year missing their last eight matchups. The Heat are missing the tandem's contributions on offense, as Herro is averaging 20.8 points while Love provides a spark off the bench.

The Nuggets enter this game at full strength, competing with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Oklahoma City Thunder for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. Two-time MVP Nikola Jokic is on a tear, scoring more than 30 points in three of their last five games.
