This is a big number for Caleb Martin who averages just 6.7 combined Reb + Ast on the season. This RA line has increased due to Miami missing three starters in Terry Rozier, Tyler Herro, and Jimmy Butler. While the Heat will be shorthanded, their front court rotation/minutes should still remain intact and I don't expect Martin to get extra run as a result. There is also some additional blowout risk with Miami checking in as 7 point dogs on the road.
Domantas Sabonis is playing at an All-NBA level. The King's Center has a whopping 8 triple doubles in his last 11 appearances. If anyone can slow Sabonis down it is Bam Adebayo who is an elite defensive Center and capable of slowing down any assignment. It should come as little surprise that Miami surrender the fewest points (19.3 PPG) to opposing Centers on the season. Look for Bam to make life difficult for Sabonis tonight.
Plenty of fight left in the Heat, both literally and figuratively, after the Friday night brawl vs. the Pelicans. No suspensions appear forthcoming, so Jimmy Butler should be good to go tonight, though the statuses of Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier must be monitored. But this has long been a good role for Miami as a substantial road dog, and the Heat catches Sacto off of a very satisfying late-night win vs. the Clippers in LA on Sunday night (though, to be fair, the Kings have won and covered their last three seconds of back-to-backs). Big road trip continues for Miami after three consecutive wins. Play Heat
