The Heat have already released their injury report ahead of Game 1 and there could be some cause for concern (h/t Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel):

As the report above said, however, PJ Tucker has already announced his intention to play despite being given the questionable tag. Gabe Vincent and Markieff Morris could also play significant roles for the Heat in the playoffs but both players appear to be on track to sit out Game 1.

For their part, the Hawks are also dealing with a couple of troubling injuries with Clint Capela and John Collins also in danger of missing the opening matchup. Capela is expected to miss at least a few games of the series with a knee injury, but the good news for Atlanta is that Collins is reportedly going to suit up for Game 1.
