Amid Jimmy Butler’s retirement, the Miami Heat slip into Chase Center on Tuesday looking to avoid their first four-game losing streak since last January.

And one night they’ll face the Warriors after losing to the Kings in double overtime in Sacramento on Monday.

With Butler out, Miami looks to guard Tyler Herro to pick up the slack. But he played 49 minutes on Monday and is listed as questionable with a bruised left knee. His absence would deprive fans of an exciting matchup against Stephen Curry and force the Heat to look for leadership and production elsewhere.

Elsewhere, in this case, center means Bam Adebayo. The three-time All-Star, perhaps the most versatile big man in the NBA, can count on a rotating roster of defenders, from Trayce Jackson-Davis to Draymond Green to Kevon Looney and perhaps Kyle Anderson.

Adebayo ranks third on the Heat with 16.1 points per game, behind Herro (23.9) and Butler (17.6). He shoots 45 percent from the field (27 percent from distance) and averages 9.9 rebounds. He’ll look to bounce back after a 6-of-19 shooting night in Sacramento.

Jackson-Davis will have the same goal. He had played well since returning to Golden State’s starting lineup on Dec. 21, averaging 12.5 points and 9.4 rebounds, but suffered his first scoreless game of the season on Sunday as the Warriors were defeated at home by the Kings became. After eight straight games with a block or a steal — or both — TJD got neither. He only managed two rebounds in 18 minutes.

It’s conceivable, but unlikely, that Warriors coach Steve Kerr will adjust his starting lineup. He could be at center with Green, who has considerable experience against Adebayo. Or even Looney, who has also seen the Miami star many times.

The best bet is that Kerr sticks with TJD, whose vertical spacing on offense and rim protection on defense are virtually essential for the Warriors to bounce back after six mediocre weeks.

On paper, this game leans towards the Warriors. They had two more days to live with their home crowd fighting with chants of “Light the beam” while they were ridiculously slapped by the Kings. And the Heat are playing their fourth game in six days, losing their first three by an average of 18 points.

Regardless of whether Herro plays, Miami’s best chance appears to be an epic performance from Adebayo.
