Love (back) expects to play in Thursday's game against the Heat, ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Love took an elbow to the back during the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the 76ers, and while he was unable to finish the game, a three-day rest period gives him a good chance to avoid missing any more time. If Love doesn't end up playing Thursday, Tristan Thompson will likely join the starting lineup and get a sizable bump in minutes.
