The Heat’s fourth-quarter offense has been among the NBA’s worst. But Jimmy Butler was at the center of one late-game solution Thursday that the Heat will likely turn to often this season miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia… – 4:47 PM

Like Doug McDermott 8 years ago, Blake Wesley is finding a rookie season injury can be a blessing in disguise.
Blake’s dad also offers insight into how his son has handled the adversity of dealing w/ a knee injury that has sidelined him since late Oct.

From yesterday, Five for Friday: Spurs continue to help Keldon pin his ears back, Bassey’s budding utility, Dougie & J-Rich bring balance back, Tre Jones sets career high, and Pop returns from his couch with new defensive demands.

Spoelstra on Spurs: “I didn’t even show our team their record. That is just way too dangerous. They play like you’re accustomed to seeing them play. They really compete and they play super fast, and that’s in the half court or full court. Everything is just super sped up.” – 3:26 PM

Looking like only Gabe Vincent will be missing from Heat primary rotation today vs. Spurs. So expect Adebayo, Martin, Butler, Herro and Lowry as starters. Likely top three reserves, in some order, as Strus, Dedmon and Oladipo. (Could also be Dru Smith if a point guard is needed.) – 3:19 PM

Tyler Herro (ankle), Duncan Robinson (ankle), Victor Oladipo (knee) and Max Strus (shoulder) have been upgraded to available for Heat. Jimmy Butler (knee) is probable – 3:16 PM

#Cavs Kevin Love (lower back soreness) and Donovan Mitchell (lower leg soreness) are both OUT tonight. I’m also OUT tonight so I can spend extra time with my family before this upcoming Texas-based road trip. Will talk to y’all from San Antonio! – 2:06 PM

Random stat of the day – Miami is 1 of only 7 teams currently shooting better on pull-up threes than catch-and-shoot threes 👌
So what are those numbers, what do they mean now, and what could they mean later this season? @CoupNBA has those answers in the Notebook – 1:05 PM

Heat Spurs is an odd 5 pm start at Nameless Arena today because it is part of a Game of Week package with one of NBA’s international partners. ABC has a rare December Saturday game tonight (Boston-GS), but Ballys and other US regional networks can carry NBA games against ABC game – 11:33 AM
