The Miami Heat enter play with a record of 1-7 (1-3 on the road), and they’ve lost their last two games.
Head coach Pat Riley has been critical of his team in recent days, saying earlier in the week that he could play better than some of his players. He also said there could be some shakeups to the lineup and rotation following a 91-76 loss to Charlotte on Nov. 9.
Tonight will be Dwyane Wade’s second game back after rehabbing knee and shoulder surgeries. Wade missed the first seven games of the season. He played 24 minutes and scored 15 points on 5-of-9 shooting Wednesday night in Seattle.
Former Celtic Ricky Davis, who Miami acquired from Minnesota prior to the start of the regular season, has been the leading scorer through the first eight games with 15.3 points per game.
Miami’s 84.75 points per game is the lowest offensive output in the NBA this season. On the flipside, the Boston Celtics defense is allowing a league-low 87.14 points to opponents.
