Erik Spoelstra on Gabe Vincent's impact: "The whole team feels comfortable with him in that role and he’s earned it. He has steadily got more reliable and comfortable toggling between coming off the bench or starting when we need it.”

Here's the prediction for Wednesday's game from Moses The Hamster. He picks the Heat. Moses' record during the postseason is 4-2.
