DAN TITUS: There's going to be some points of where you're going to have to make some tough decisions at this stretch of the playoff run. First off, let's start with the big names. I want to know who you're going to start, stash, and cut out of these three names. First up, Jaren Jackson Jr., Khris Middleton, and Miami guard Tyler Herro.

JUSTIN HENRY: I think, for me, the order I would place these guys-- Jaren Jackson, who's been playing well, and put him-- he's a little injured. But he's been playing well still. Jaren Jackson, number one.

Khris Middleton, we're still waiting on him to get back. I'd put him as my stash. And then Tyler Herro, unfortunately, would be my cut right now just due to his little uncertainty with his injury.

DAN TITUS: OK. Yeah. I see that. I'm definitely in agreement with Jaren Jackson Jr. being the start. However, I differ with you on stashing. I am not stashing Khris Middleton. I'm actually going to stash Tyler Herro. And here's why.

JUSTIN HENRY: Really?

DAN TITUS: I don't trust Khris Middleton. This man is on the injury report questionable every night, on to be ruled out. Doc Rivers continues to be optimistic. And for what?

This man had an ankle sprain. And he's still not back yet. I need to see more. This guy is probably going to have a minutes restriction. He's been hurt all year. Cut. Bait. I'm good.

JUSTIN HENRY: You know what? Khris Middleton, when he was playing, he was actually playing well. And I can say the same thing about Herro. But at least Middleton's been on the court lately.

Tyler Herro is out indefinitely. And when I hear the word indefinitely, I get scared. I'm like, you know what? I'm good off indefinitely. If I need to wait on a player, I'm going to wait on the guy who's actually participating in practice, going through some activities. Give me Khris Middleton.
