Kyle Lowry is out for Game 1 of the Sixers-Heat series with a hamstring injury. The point guard suffered the ailment in the middle of Miami’s first-round series with Atlanta and missed the final two contests (both Heat wins) as a result. Expect Gabe Vincent to continue to see additional run in Miami’s backcourt.
Jimmy Butler (knee irritation) and Tyler Herro (illness) are among six members of the Heat that are listed as questionable heading into the contest, per Ira Winderman of the Sun-Sentinel. Butler and Herro are both expected to suit up on Monday night.
The Heat are listed at -375 to win their series with the Sixers at PointsBet.
