  • Caleb Martin, Cody Zeller available for Game 2
    Caleb Martin (illness) and Cody Zeller (right foot sprain) are both available for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against Denver on Sunday.

    Advice: Martin shined in the Eastern Conference Finals, but he really struggled in Game 1 against Denver. This illness may have bothered him during that game, so hopefully he'll be more productive in Game 2. He should continue to start for them alongside Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo in the frontcourt. Zeller only played eight minutes off the bench in Game 1, so he likely won't use him much, aside from trying to throw a different look at Nikola Jokic, even if it wasn't very effective.

  • Haliburton, Mikal Bridges to play for Team USA
    Tyrese Haliburton and Mikal Bridges will play for Team USA in the 2023 FIBA World Cup.

    Advice: Shortly after reporting that Anthony Edwards, Austin Reaves and Bobby Portis will represent the USA in the FIBA World Cup, Shams Charania updated his list to include Haliburton and Bridges. Haliburton became an All-Star for the first time this season and solidified his name as one of the best point guards in the league. Bridges had a solid season for Phoenix, but he took his game to another level after the trade to Brooklyn. There will be more names announced before training camp in August, but this is a quality roster so far, even if it isn't as star-studded as it has been in the past.

  • Anthony Edwards among current Team USA commitments
    Anthony Edwards, Bobby Portis and Austin Reaves are currently committed to play for Team USA in the FIBA World Cup this summer, per The Athletic's Shams Charania.

    Advice: Edwards is one of the brightest young stars in the league, so it shouldn't be surprising that he'll suit up for Team USA in August. After being a solid player at times last season, Reaves broke out for the Lakers and shined in the postseason for them, which clearly vaulted him into contention for a spot to represent the country. Portis has been a key bench piece for the Bucks over the last couple of seasons, and he'll likely play a similar role for them in the tournament. Reports from last October indicated that Trae Young and Bradley Beal could also play for Team USA. We'll see who Grant Hill and Steve Kerr fill out this team with as their training camp approaches in August. NBCSportsEDGE.com Sunday, 5:39 pm
     
  • Coming off bench Sunday
    Martin will come off the bench in Sunday's Game 2 matchup against the Nuggets, Jared Greenberg of Turner Sports reports.

    Advice: Martin will work with the second unit for the Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals after starting the last three contests. He's been battling a non-COVID-19-related illness that kept him from practicing Saturday, but he still figures to get ample run off the bench. Martin scored three points and pulled in four boards to go along with a block and a steal in 25 minutes in Game 1. Rotowire.com Sunday, 3:45 pm
     
  • Starting Game 2
    Love will start Sunday's Game 2 matchup against the Nuggets, Jared Greenberg of NBA on TNT reports.

    Advice: Love returns to the starting lineup ahead of Caleb Martin, who is available despite a non-COVID-19-related illness. Love has not played in the last three contests for the Heat and saw just 12.4 minutes per game in his five starts against Boston in the Eastern Conference Finals. Rotowire.com Sunday, 3:32 pm
     
  • Available for Game 2
    Zeller (foot) is available for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Nuggets on Sunday, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.

    Advice: Zeller was upgraded to probable ahead of Sunday's matchup and will be able to suit up once again. In Game 1 on Thursday, he was held scoreless with three rebounds in seven minutes. Rotowire.com Sunday, 3:01 pm
     
  • Available Sunday
    Martin (illness) is available for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Nuggets on Sunday, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.

    Advice: Martin was questionable for Sunday's matchup due to a non-COVID-19-related illness that forced him to miss practice Saturday, but he'll be able to suit up as the Heat attempt to even the series. He played 25 minutes in Game 1 on Thursday and logged three points, four rebounds, a steal and a block. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:59 pm
     
  • Cody Zeller (foot) upgraded to probable for Game 2
    Cody Zeller (sprained right foot) is now probable for Sunday's game against the Nuggets. 

    Advice: Initially listed as questionable for Game 2, the odds of Zeller being available have increased. One of the multiple options used to defend Nikola Jokic in Game 1, the veteran center played eight minutes and grabbed three rebounds in the series opener. Zeller will likely be in line for a similar workload should he be cleared to play Sunday night.  NBCSportsEDGE.com Sunday, 12:20 pm
     
  • Likely to play Sunday
    Zeller (foot) has been upgraded to probable for Sunday's matchup with the Nuggets in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Zeller had been listed as questionable on the initial Game 2 injury report the Heat released Saturday, but he's apparently shown some improvement as Sunday's 8 p.m. ET opening tip draws closer. Even if active Sunday, Zeller likely won't play more than a handful of minutes behind starting center Bam Adebayo, who is once again expected to shoulder a heavy workload. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:22 am
