ANALYSIS: It just got tougher for the Heat to try and close out their first-round series against the Hawks without Butler who has been their best offensive player, averaging 30.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 5.3 assists this post-season. The team is already without Lowry and might also be without both P.J. Tucker and Caleb Martin who are listed as questionable.
