Miami Heat small forward Justise Winslow has missed the previous two games due to a back injury, but it looks like he's going to play on Tuesday against the Denver Nuggets.
The Heat say Winslow and Derrick Jones Jr. will both warm up with the intent to be available versus the Nuggets:

Winslow has played in four games this season for the Heat. The lefty is averaging 14.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists while shooting 37.7 percent from the field, 30.0 percent from beyond the arc and 58.8 percent from the free-throw line.
The Heat are 5-1 on the young season. They are currently riding a three-game winning streak. Miami is averaging 117.8 points per game, which is good for fifth in the NBA. The Heat are also playing stellar defense, as they are giving up only 106.2 points, good for sixth in the league.
Jimmy Butler has been everything Miami wanted when it acquired him from the Philadelphia 76ers this offseason. Butler, after missing the first three games of the season due to the birth of his daughter, is averaging 14.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 7.3 assists on the season while shooting 38.9 percent from the floor, 30.0 percent from the 3-point line and 65.0 percent from the charity stripe.
Jimmy's shooting splits should increase as the season moves along.
