MIA
Drains season-high five threes
The Heat once again went with a tight frontcourt rotation that saw Bam Adebayo, Kel'el Ware and Jovic each play more than 30 minutes, and as a result the latter set a new season high in made threes while reaching 20 points for the first time since Jan. 11. Jovic has been a reliable contributor from the second unit, scoring in double digits in nine of the last 10 games while averaging 13.9 points, 4.4 assists, 4.1 boards, 2.7 threes and 0.9 steals in 31.2 minutes a contest.

Teases triple-double in loss
The 25-year-old guard tied Bam Adebayo for the team scoring lead while coming up just short of his second career triple-double. Herro has taken on a much bigger distribution role for the Heat of late -- he's dished at least eight dimes in five of the last six games, averaging 22.0 points, 8.7 assists, 4.8 boards and 3.0 threes over that stretch to help make up for some shaky shooting (39.3 percent from the floor and 28.6 percent from long distance). While a Jimmy Butler trade could shake up Miami's rotation, Herro seems to be locking down the starting point guard job regardless of any potential roster additions.

Double-double in Chicago
The rookie center has been a revelation for the Heat since moving into the starting lineup in late January. Over the last seven games, Ware has averaged 13.7 points, 9.9 boards, 1.6 threes, 1.3 blocks, 1.0 steals and 0.9 assists while shooting 53.3 percent from the floor and 42.3 percent (11-for-26) from beyond the arc. He's also recorded four of his five career double-double in that span. Bam Adebayo has also seen his numbers jump up significantly while playing alongside the 15th overall pick in the 2024 Draft, another strong sign that Ware isn't going to move back to the bench any time soon.

Hits for 23 in Tuesday's loss
The 27-year-old big continues to thrive in Miami's new-look frontcourt, topping 20 points for the fourth straight contest. Over seven games since he was joined in the starting five by Kel'el Ware, Adebayo is averaging 20.0 points, 11.3 boards, 4.6 assists and 0.9 threes while shooting 55.4 percent from the floor.

Good to go Tuesday
Robinson will suit up after having been listed as probable due to a right hip contusion. The sharpshooter has started in each of the club's last eight outings, averaging 14.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 31.5 minutes per game. He has also shot 42.2 percent from beyond the arc while averaging 8.0 attempts per contest in that eight-game span.
