Impact Cain didn't put up any kind of eye-popping production, but he did contribute across the board and continues to see a sizable workload off the bench given Miami's extensive injury report. He should continue to receive opportunities until Duncan Robinson (ankle), Max Strus (shoulder) and Jimmy Butler (knee) return to health.

He was 5-for-5 from the field and scored 12 of his 18 points in the first half. Disrupting passing lanes all night, he demonstrated great awareness on defense and had five steals. The undrafted 23-year-old is on an Exhibit 10 contract and will likely need more performances like Thursday's to earn a spot on Miami's roster.
