The Miami Heat have rotated their starting group over the 2024-25 campaign. Injuries have been an issue for them, and off court issues surrounding All-Star forward Jimmy Butler have also forced coach Erik Spoelstra to make changes.

Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo lead the Heat roster with 46 starts, followed by Haywood Highsmith, with 36. Twelve different players have received starts this sesaon.

Trade rumors surrounding Butler continue to hang over the organization. The six-time All-Star is serving a suspension and will miss Wednesday's game. Miami will also be without guard Josh Richardson, Isaiah Steves and Dru Smith, who are all sidelined with injuries.

The Heat will likely take the court with a starting five of Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, Haywood Highsmith, Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware.

The Philadelphia 76ers have also been flexible with their starters, with 15 different players starting games this season. Guards Kelly Oubre Jr. and Tyrese Maxey have been the two constants in the lineup, starting 42 and 41 games, respectively.

Injuries have been a major concern for Philadelphia throughout the season, and Wednesday will be no different. Former MVP Joel Embiid won't play due to left knee injury management. Center Andre Drummond is expected to miss out due to a toe injury, while forward KJ Martin has been ruled out as well. Jared McCain will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on his left knee.

Paul George, who has missed the last four games with a finger injury, might not be fit in time for Wednesday's game. Meanwhile, Kyle Lowry, Eric Gordon and Quentin Grimes are listed as game-time decisions.

Expect the 76ers to take the court with Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr., Eric Gordon, Justin Edwards and Guerschon Yabusele.
