Miami Heat vs. Grizzlies: Will Tyler Herro and Andrew Wiggins Be in the Lineup?
On Thursday, April 3, the Miami Heat will pay visits to the Memphis Grizzlies. The game will be played on the floor of Kaseya Center and is part of the regular playoffs. The Miami Heat have already locked up their playoff position with a win over the Boston Celtics (124-103) on Wednesday. All eyes turn to whether Tyler Herro and Andrew Wiggins get the nod to start against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Will Tyler Herro and Andrew Wiggins be playing against the Memphis Grizzlies this time?
Well, it was against the Celtics that the Heat finally managed to end their franchise-record 10-game unbeaten streak, which this season had still been the longest. Not only that, they pushed their own winning streak up to six games putting pressure on whoever was next to them in the NBA. The Heat have been without Andrew Wiggins since March 27, staying out of competition.
Wiggins has been out with a tendinopathy in his right hamstring, and these last three games have been played against the Boston, Philadelphia 76ers, and Washington Wizards. Now, it looks like Wiggins is going to miss the clash against the Grizzlies. The Memphis Grizzlies just lost their last match against the Golden State Warriors after Stephen Curry scored 52 points, along with 10 rebounds and 8 assists.
Back for the Heat was good in that Herro reaffirmed that he was back in business.
On Wednesday night, he led the team with 25 points, nine assists, and six rebounds and also the most in points, rebounds, and assists.
Herro has been sizzling, scoring at least 27 points in four of the five games, and once crossing the 30-point barrage twice. This is Herro’s 73rd game this season, averaging 23.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 0.9 steals per game. Wiggins has played only 15 games this season, averaging 17.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 0.9 steals per game in them.
The Miami Heat are placed ninth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 35-41 and are on a six-game winning streak. The Memphis Grizzlies see themselves eighth in the Western Conference with a record of 44-32 and are on a four-game losing streak.
