Heat's Kevin Love: Absent from practice Friday
Rotowire
Love (personal) is away from the team and wasn't present for Friday's practice, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Love missed the first two games of the first round and can be considered doubtful at best for Saturday's Game 3 against Cleveland in Miami. However, the veteran big man's potential absence shouldn't cause any waves in the rotation.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Doesn't practice Friday
Rotowire
Rozier (ankle) didn't participate in Friday's practice, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Rozier missed the first two games of the first round due to a sprained left ankle, and his lack of participation in practice bodes poorly for his status ahead of Saturday's Game 3 against Cleveland. Miami is expected to update the veteran guard's status for Game 3 by Friday night, though his potential absence shouldn't cause any waves in the rotation.

Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Notches 17 points
Rotowire
Highsmith finished with 17 points (6-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 121-112 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
After a very quiet Game 1 with seven points in 31 minutes, Highsmith and Nikola Jovic gave the Heat a spark off the bench Wednesday with a combined 28 points. Highsmith is typically a low-usage role player, so fantasy managers shouldn't put too much stock into this outlier performance.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Drops game-high 33 in loss
Rotowire
Herro posted 33 points (14-24 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 121-112 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Herro was a scoring machine during Game 2, as he tried to prevent his team from going down 2-0 in the series. However, Cleveland proved to be too much to handle once again, despite Miami having six players score in double figures. Herro continues to prove he is worthy of being the No. 1 option for his team moving forward. Still, it seems as though it might only be a matter of time before they're eliminated, with the Cavaliers clearly the better all-around team in this series.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Flirts with triple-double
Rotowire
Adebayo had 11 points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Wednesday's 121-112 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Adebayo led Miami in rebounds and assists in Game 2's loss and was one assist shy of recording his second career playoff triple-double. However, the star big man has struggled with his efficiency against the Cavaliers' frontcourt of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, shooting just 41.9 percent from the field and 20.0 percent from three.

Heat's Andrew Wiggins: Held to 10 points
Rotowire
Wiggins logged 10 points (3-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, three assists and three blocks across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 121-112 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Wiggins was having an off night for Miami, so coach Erik Spoelstra opted to roll with the hot hands of Haywood Highsmith and Nikola Jovic down the stretch. Wiggins had better luck in Game 1, finishing with 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 38 minutes.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Another quiet showing
Rotowire
Ware chipped in seven points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 121-112 loss to Cleveland in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Ware, who put together a terrific rookie season, has yet to find any rhythm in the postseason against Cleveland's stacked frontcourt of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Through two games, Ware is averaging a mere 4.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 19.5 minutes per game.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Plays well in loss
Rotowire
Jovic notched 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 121-112 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
After logging a single scoreless minute in Game 1, Miami made some rotation tweaks in Game 2 in what was a much tighter affair. Jovic played key minutes down the stretch at the expense of Andrew Wiggins, and it's likely that he could see a similar role going forward with the series shifting back to Miami.

Heat's Davion Mitchell: Thrives in starting role
Rotowire
Mitchell racked up 18 points (7-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound, six assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 121-112 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Mitchell entered the starting five in Game 2 but played just two more minutes and scored the same number of points (18) as he did in Game 1 while coming off the bench. Mitchell has had a phenomenal start to the series, averaging 18.0 points, 7.5 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 35.0 minutes across his first two outings while shooting 71.4 percent from the field and 57.1 percent from three.

Heat's Alec Burks: Does not feature in Game 2
Rotowire
Burks did not see the floor in Wednesday's Game 2 loss to Cleveland.
After logging 15 minutes in Game 1, the Heat replaced him with Davion Mitchell in the starting lineup. Burks' minutes have been trending in the wrong direction for a couple of weeks, and it would be a surprise to see him in the rotation for Game 3.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Leads all scorers despite loss
Rotowire
Herro closed with 33 points (14-24 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 121-112 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Herro continues to do all he can for the Heat, leading all scorers with 33 points. He has been playing a lone hand of late, averaging 28.8 points per game over the past five games. With the series now shifting to Miami, Herro will be hoping his teammates can come to the party as they look to secure their first victory.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Invisible in Game 2 loss
Rotowire
Robinson had three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and one assist over 12 minutes during Wednesday's 121-112 loss to Cleveland in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Robinson was a non-factor again, scoring single digits for the fifth straight game. Both his playing time and productivity have been massively underwhelming of late, rendering him almost unplayable. The two teams will now head to Miami for Game 3, a pivotal game for both teams.

Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Pops for 17 points Wednesday
Rotowire
Highsmith notched 17 points (6-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 121-112 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Highsmith had an impact on the offensive end despite the loss, tallying 17 points, the most he has scored since back on Nov. 11. While it was an improved effort by the Heat, they came up short again, falling behind 2-0 in the series. Game 3 will be in Miami on Saturday, with the Heat looking to grab some much-needed momentum.
Mitchell will be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Mitchell will be a starter for the first time during this first-round series for Miami, with Alec Burks set to come off the bench. Mitchell had an impressive performance in Game 1 in a reserve role, coming one assist shy of a double-double with 18 points, nine assists, four rebounds and one steal.
