Portland Trail Blazers vs. Miami Heat Game Day Thread

The Portland Trail Blazers face the Miami Heat tonight following a satisfying win over the Atlanta Hawks. Damian Lillard is still out with abdominal tendinopathy, so look for Anfernee Simons to step up in his absence. Larry Nance Jr. has cleared health and safety protocols and will play tonight. The Heat are missing significant amounts of personnel.
