The Miami Heat will be without forward Jimmy Butler (calf) and guard Kyle Lowry (soreness) Thursday against the Golden State Warriors. It leaves the Heat devoid of two offense initiators, with Butler out due to a strained left calf and Lowry with general soreness. After suffering the injury on Dec. 18, Butler's return timeline is unclear. But considering that the 34-year-old point forward partially practiced Wednesday, Butler should have a decent chance to return Saturday against the Utah Jazz. Tyler Herro should engineer Miami's offense as their top distributor Thursday, sharing duties as the foremost scoring threat alongside Bam Adebayo. Catch-and-shoot plays should be abundant for Duncan Robinson (ankle), since Josh Richardson (back) and Caleb Martin (ankle) are doubtful, while standout rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. takes a featured role again after a 31-point, 10-rebound Christmas Day double-double.
