There will be no Morris twins reunion as both are out. More important, the Heat are in the second of a back-to-back and without Jimmy Butler, who sprained his ankle in Wednesday's loss at the Lakers. The Heat entered this West Coast trip looking like the best team in the East but are 0-2 and now play a third game in four nights against a rested, rolling Clippers side.

After an overtime loss to the Lakers on Wednesday, the Heat have a quick turnaround to play again Thursday. To complicate matters, Jimmy Butler suffered a sprained ankle that will likely keep him out. Not only is he averaging 23.6 points per game, he’s one of the keys to their defense, averaging 2.1 steals with his ability to guard multiple positions. There’s just too much going against the Heat in this matchup.
