The Heat are 3-2 in Donaldson's most recent five games, with wins over Brooklyn, New Orleans and Toronto. His plus-minus has been mostly negative in losses to Orlando and Minnesota, reflecting a bench role still finding its footing. There's no injury concern tied to his name right now, so his next chance to build on the 12-point outing against New Orleans will come as Miami continues its schedule.
