Davion Mitchell, Myron Gardner, Simone Fontecchio, Kel’el Ware and Bam Adebayo will start against the Pelicans on Wednesday.
With Andrew Wiggins (toe) sidelined for this game, Gardner will enter the starting unit for Miami. Gardner has been productive as a starter recently, averaging 12.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals across his last three starts. He should be able to contribute decent value in an increased role.
