Heat News: Goran Dragic Ruled Out, Kendrick Nunn Questionable vs Warriors

The Miami Heat could be without their top two point guard options for Thursday’s matchup against the Golden State Warriors. Goran Dragic has already been ruled out due to a back injury on the second leg of a back-to-back. He’s played in each of the Heat’s past two games, but he’s been limited to 24.3 minutes in both appearances. That said, his absence seems more precautionary than anything else.

Kendrick Nunn is also questionable due to an ankle injury. He’s missed the past two games, and Dragic has started in place of Nunn in both of those contests.

The good news for the Heat is that Victor Oladipo is expected to make his team debut. He was acquired by the Heat before last Thursday’s trade deadline, but he’s yet to suit up due to an illness. He would be a logical candidate to replace Nunn in the starting lineup if Nunn is ruled out, and he could replace Duncan Robinson if Nunn is active. Tyler Herro should also continue to see plenty of minutes off the bench.

The Heat are currently listed as three-point favorites vs. the Warriors on FanDuel Sportsbook.
