Warriors vs. Heat Game Preview

Time: 7:30 p.m. ET

How to Watch: TNT, MAX

The biggest question mark heading into the Warriors vs. Heat matchup is the status of Warriors G Stephen Curry (pelvis). He took a hard fall last week against the Raptors and was forced to sit out Saturday against the Hawks. 

Butler stepped up to record 25 points and eight assists in that game. Curry is officially listed as questionable for Tuesday.

Heat F Nikola Jovic (hand) remains sidelined as he recovers from hand surgery. Heat F Duncan Robinson (back) is listed as questionable. If he were unable to play, it would be just his fourth missed game of the season. Other than Jovic and Robinson, the Heat don’t have anyone of note on their injury report.
