Providing the final update to the injury report for Saturday's game between the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat. Also includes: projected starters, betting lines, game notes and information, a quote and more.
The Miami Heat announced that guard Dru Smith will be available for Saturday night's game against the Orlando Magic after he was listed as probable going into the game.With Howard a late scratch, it wouldn't be surprising if Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley gave Noah Penda some minutes and leaned into the other Magic frontcourt players already in the rotation.
Talented rookie guard Jase Richardson could be in line to get some playing time as well. With Herro and Powell back in the fold, there will be some questions as to which of them starts or comes off the bench, both in this game and going forward and how their backcourt rotation plays out from there. Although the possibility exists that both play in the starting unit together, the last time the two were healthy, coach Erik Spoelstra had been bringing Herro off the bench with Powell starting alongside Davion Mitchell and Pelle Larsson. Often times, the result of this was the Heat alternating bewteeen one of their scoring guards and defensive-orieneted guards like Mitchell and either Smith or rookie guard Kasparas Jakucionis. Last time the backcourt was healthy, Smith was the one out of the rotation for Jakucionis, but Smith has continued to carve out a role for himself with his defensive prowess, so it will be interesting to see if one of Jakucionis or Smith's minutes get cut for the other or if Spoelstra manages to play a rotation where all their backcourt players find time.104.3 FM , ESPN 106.3 FM, , FOX Sports Radio 105.9 FM , 1450 AM , 97.7 FM , WAQI 710 AM , 104.5 FM The Beat meet for the fifth and final regular season matchup.

They did a great job of playing with pace, playing with speed, coverages, trying to keep guys in front of us. You got to give Washington a ton of credit, you know, what they've been dealing with over the last couple of days. They came out and played hard and that was a big portion of it."Bucks vs. Heat Prediction, Odds and Best NBA Prop Bets for Thursday, March 12
