Kyle Lowry at 35 years old is having a great season with Miami, as the No. 7 is 
averaging 13.4 points per game, 8.3 assists and 4.5 rebounds.
Lowry is a fundamental piece in the coach's scheme for Miami to keep getting victories. 

With Damian Lillard's injury, Portland's best scorer is CJ McCollum with 20.4 points per game, so a lot of points will have to go through his hands if they want to win the game. 

22 Jimmy Butler, 17 PJ Tucker, 13 Bam Adebayo, 2 Gabe Vincent, 55 Duncan Robinson

9 Nassir Little, 33 Robert Covington, 27 Jusuf Nurkic, 1 Andernee Simons, 3 CJ McCollum

The great star of the Portland team is in a complicated situation, as he has been dragging an injury that has prevented him from showing his full potential in the season.
The player is deciding whether he should undergo surgery and miss practically the second half of the season.

With the loss of Damian Lillard, the Trail Blazers have not been able to establish their game in the western conference and that is why they are in the last position that gives a place in the playoffs. 

Although at times the Heat team was not finding consistency, it has gradually achieved it and shown that it is a contender to return to the NBA Finals.

Miami is in second place in their conference, with 28 wins and 16 losses, they are in the fight for first place.
On the other hand, Portland is in a complicated situation as they are in tenth place in the West with 18 wins and 25 losses.
