Heat Injury Report: Kyle Lowry Ruled Out For Game 2 With Hamstring Injury

Kyle Lowry will miss his fourth straight game with a left hamstring injury on Wednesday against the 76ers.

Kyle Lowry Injury Update

Lowry hasn't played since hobbling off of the floor without his left shoe late in the third quarter of Miami's Game 3 win in round one on April 22. 

The 36-year-old is averaging 8.3 points and 5.4 rebounds in in three playoff games. 

Gabe Vincent is expected to start if he is available but is questionable for Wednesday's game with knee irritation. Vincent has been effective, although inefficient, averaging 10 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists on 37.9% in the last three starts.

Newly-crowned Sixth Man of The Year Tyler Herro will be once again tabbed to head the offensive assault on Philadelphia. Herro scored 25 on 17 shots with seven assists in Monday's 24-point win. 

Betting and DFS Impact

FanDuel Sportsbook has Jimmy Butler and Gabe Vincent's over/under for assists in Game 2 set at 5.5 and 3.5, respectively. Lowry led the Heat in assists this season with 7.5 per game.

Harden will have a slightly easier matchup without defensive bulldog Lowry to contend with. FanDuel has his over/under for points and assists set at 22.5 and 9.5, respectively. Harden had 16 points and nine assists on 5-13 shooting in Game 1.
