6 years agoNew Orleans power forward Nikola Mirotic (ankle) is doubtful to play against the Heat on Sunday. The 6-foot-10 big man has been resting his ankle since suffering the injury after just seven minutes on the floor on Monday. It makes sense to sit the fifth-year pro as tomorrow is the Pelicans' only game until Wednesday. Julius Randle, who has topped the 20-point plateau in six straight games, will remain in the starting lineup if Mirotic does indeed miss more time with Cheick Diallo picking up minutes off the bench.--Daniel Benjamin
