Miami Heat shooting guard Tyler Herro, the team’s leading scorer, is expected to play against the Portland Trail Blazers despite dealing with a left knee contusion. The Heat, currently at 19-17 and holding the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference, are on a two-game win streak, with Herro's contributions being pivotal.
Herro is enjoying a breakout season, averaging 23.6 points per game with impressive shooting splits. His performance has sparked discussions about his potential All-Star selection this year. Meanwhile, Jimmy Butler remains sidelined due to a suspension, further emphasizing Herro’s importance.
The Trail Blazers, struggling with a 13-24 record, are actively pursuing a high draft pick and have their own injury woes, with key players like Jerami Grant and Matisse Thybulle unavailable.
