Heat vs Celtics injury report: Lineup for Game-4 Eastern Conference Finals (May 23rd, 2023)

Examining the injury report and expected starting lineups proves vital as both teams gear up for this critical matchup. The fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals is slated for tonight between the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics in Florida.

The Miami Heat's incredible form during the NBA playoffs has brought them within touching distance of reaching the NBA finals with just one game remaining. After dominating the game against the Celtics and winning comfortably by scoring 128 points against Boston's 102, the Heat seem poised for another success as they approach sealing off this playoff series. However, they face some injury concerns heading into tonight's game.

Although he left the previous game due to a leg muscle injury within just five minutes, Kevin Love is probably going to play in Game 4. Even without two of their best players, Tyler Herro and Victor Oladipo, who are out with injuries, the Heat have been thriving in this playoff season thanks to their depth. His addition to the court would only serve as an additional boost.
