Chris Bosh

Chris Bosh (illness) will be a game-time call for Heat

Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh (illness) did not go through shoot around, and he'll be a game-time decision for Monday's contest versus the Boston Celtics.

What It Means:

This would be the first game missed of the season for Bosh, but the fact he missed shootaround isn't very encouraging. It also essentially guarantees he won't be 100 percent even if he does play. Against the Celtics forgiving front court, Bosh would have an appealing matchup, but whether he's healthy enough to take advantage of it would remain to be seen. Look for Josh McRoberts to be the biggest beneficiary in Bosh's potential absence.

Bosh has been fantastic this season after being limited to 44 games in 2014-'15. He has the eighth-best nERD in the league, with per-game averages of 17.5 points and 9.0 rebounds. He's adding 1.5 3-pointers and 1.0 blocks, as well.
