The TNT special..
Heat on the last leg of a four-game homestand, they need to secure a win tonight to stay above .500 because there aren't any layups among the next three road games. Heat are healthier now than they have been for much of the year and guys like Dipo and Njelica are still getting acclimated to the rotation, so we probably haven't seen their best ball yet.
Meanwhile the Lakers are still limping from one game to next, and now you have THT serving a one game suspension in addition to Kuz being questionable. Drummond will be back for LA though so they have that, but who knows what to expect from him at this point, he played 14 minutes in his Laker debut and then missed the next three games.
It's a big number, but I wouldn't be surprised if Miami runs away and hides at some point in this game. The Lakers should have trouble consistently finding buckets, especially if Kuz is out, and Heat are capable of long runs when the outside shot is falling and/or they're forcing turnovers.
