Kyle Lowry (knee) uncertain Saturday for Heat
Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (knee soreness) is questionable for Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks.
What It Means:
Lowry was held out Wednesday in the second end of a back-to-back, but he might not be able to play at home on Saturday either. Gabe Vincent will play more minutes if Lowry is out. There will also be additional ball-handling opportunities for Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro, and Victor Oladipo.
Vincent played 31.4 minutes versus the New York Knicks on Wednesday and scored 34.1 FanDuel points with a team-high 21 real points (8-11 field goals, 4-5 3-pointers). numberFire's models project him for 31.6 minutes and 22.8 FanDuel points on Saturday if Lowry is inactive. The Mavs are allowing the sixth-fewest FanDuel points per game to opposing point guards this season.
