Boston's sitting at 50 wins and 25 losses after dropping a game to the Atlanta Hawks on Monday. Miami's at 40 wins and 36 losses, coming off a home win against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Here in Miami, Tyler Harrow dropped 30 points with four rebounds and three assists to lead the win, and bomb out of bio added 23 points, 16 rebounds and six assists. Both squas are dealing with injury bumps that could shake things up.
