After winning Game 6 on their home floor, the Miami Heat are going on the road to try and steal Game 7 against the Toronto Raptors. However, they'll be doing so without the services of center Hassan Whiteside.
After game 6, Whiteside spoke about his injury and when he could return if the Heat win the decisive seventh game.
Hassan Whiteside talking to media. Says he is rehabbing and getting better. "I don't really have a timetable for you."

With Whiteside out, the Heat will continue to try and rely on their small ball attack. On Friday, Goran Dragic scored a series-high 30 points and helped the Heat stave off elimination for the third time this postseason. They'll need a lot of the same without Whiteside's 12 points, 10.9 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks per game to help balance the attack in Jurassic Park.
Game 7 will be on Sunday at 3:30 PM EST on ABC, and the winner of this grind-it-out series will advance to play the waiting and well-rested Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals Tuesday night in Cleveland.
