* Tyler Herro - GroinIn a matchup that saw the Heat victorious, both the Celtics and Heat had key players sidelined due to injuries. Celtics power forward Danilo Gallinari will be out for an extended period after undergoing right shoulder surgery, while Heat guard Tyler Herro continues to miss games with a nagging groin injury.
Gallinari, who joined the Celtics in the offseason, has been a valuable contributor when healthy, averaging 6.1 points and 4.7 rebounds in 26 games this season. However, his absence will be a significant blow to Boston's frontcourt depth.
Herro, who has emerged as one of the NBA's top sixth men, has missed the last several games for the Heat. His absence has been felt, as Miami has struggled to find consistent scoring off the bench. It remains unclear when Herro will return to action.
The Celtics and Heat will face off again on February 15th in Miami. Both teams will be hoping to have their injured players back on the court by then.
