Lowry will start Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry started a few preseason games with Jimmy Butler out, but his role wasn't clear heading into the regular season. Caleb Martin (knee) is expected to be limited, so once he's back to 100 percent, he could replace Lowry in the starting lineup.

Lowry is in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Rockets, Jackson Gatlin of Locked on Rockets reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry was given the night off for rest on Wednesday, but he's not dealing with any injuries. It remains to be seen if he'll be the starting point guard on Opening Night.

Lowry (rest) won't play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Nets, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry is one of a handful of players sitting for Miami. The veteran point guard isn't dealing with an injury and will likely return to action for the Heat's preseason finale in Houston on Friday.

Lowry (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's preseason matchup against Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry didn't travel with the team to San Antonio for Friday's preseason matchup, but he's back in the starting lineup Sunday. However, the veteran point guard shouldn't play more than 20-25 minutes.

Lowry won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Spurs, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

There hasn't been an indication that Lowry is dealing with an injury, so he's likely sitting out Friday's matchup for rest purposes. It's not yet clear whether he'll begin the regular season as Miami's starting point guard, but his next chance to prove his case during the preseason will be Sunday against the Grizzlies.

Lowry is not a lock to start at point guard for the Heat on Opening Night, Ira Winderman of the Sun-Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Erik Spoelstra was noncommittal when asked about Lowry potentially starting, but the veteran guard said he expects to open the season as the starter. There's been some chatter about Tyler Herro possibly getting the job, so this will definitely be something to monitor during training camp.

Lowry contributed 12 points (4-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 94-89 loss to the Nuggets in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry accepted his bench role with grace and was an integral part of Miami's run to the Finals by leading the second unit. He wasn't a prolific producer during the playoffs, but his contributions always seemed to be timely. Across 23 postseason appearances, Lowry averaged 9.2 points, 4.4 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals with 42/37/93 shooting splits.

Lowry posted eight points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 18 minutes during Saturday's 104-103 loss to the Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

EDGE Analysis

With Gabe Vincent (ankle) back in the starting lineup, Lowry returned to his usual bench role for Game 6. The veteran guard scored his most points since Game 1 and recorded tallies in each defensive category for the third time during the Eastern Conference Finals, but his fantasy upside remains limited due to his current spot in Miami's rotation.

Lowry will rejoin the reserves for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry drew a spot start in Game 5 but managed just five points and two rebounds over 30 minutes. With Gabe Vincent (ankle) healthy and back in action, Lowry will be pushed back to his typical bench role in which he averaged 6.8 points, 4.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds across 25.2 minutes per game from Games 1 through 4.

Lowry closed Thursday's 110-97 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals with five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry moved into the starting lineup with Gabe Vincent (ankle) ruled out, but failed to make the most of his opportunity. Despite only being a 13-point margin, the Heat were never really in this one, allowing the Celtics to edge even closer to leveling the series. Vincent's status for Game 6 is unknown at this point but should he be forced to miss the game, Lowry would likely remain in the opening unit.
