Series Notes:

– The HEAT and Jazz meet for their second matchup in the first half of the season.

– Earlier this season, Utah recorded a, 112-94, win on 2/13.

– Last season, the teams split the season series, 1-1, with each squad winning on their home floor.

– The HEAT are 22-42 all-time versus the Jazz during the regular season, including 11-20 in home games and 11-22 in road games.

What to watch for:

– Avery Bradley (Right Calf; Strain) and Meyers Leonard (Left Shoulder; Surgery) are out. Bam Adebayo (Left Knee; Tendinosis) and Tyler Herro (Right Hip; Contusion) are questionable. Gabe Vincent (Right Knee; Soreness) is probable.

– The HEAT’s four-game winning streak is currently the second-longest in the NBA.

– The HEAT have seven players averaging double-figures this season, tying the third-most in the NBA, with Adebayo (19.6), Butler (19.5), Herro (16.9), Dragić (14.4), Nunn (14.3), Robinson (13.2) and Olynyk (10.0) all averaging double-figures.

– Bam Adebayo grabbed his 2,000th rebound as a member of the HEAT on 2/24 vs. TOR, becoming the youngest player in franchise history to achieve the feat.
