Goran Dragic will not play Tuesday as Heat take on Thunder

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

What It Means:

Dragic was dealing with back spasms on the Friday before Christmas, so it sounds like he might be in danger of missing more than just Tuesday. Miami's next game is Thursday, so for now we'll consider Dragic day to day. Tyler Johnson should start, while Josh Richardson and Justise Winslow get a bump too.

Our models projected Johnson for 12.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists over 29.6 minutes before the news of the Dragic injury, However, he should see a good boost in minutes with Dragic sitting out.
