3 Heat players who must step up to maximize playoff push
The Miami Heat have a lot of ground to make up in the standings. Here’s who they need to help them do it.
The Miami Heat have been struggling to find consistency this season. With the Jimmy Butler drama in the rear-view mirror, Miami needs to play better for them to make a playoff push.
Miami has had a hard time finding ways to score. Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo have been Miami’s best players. Offensively, the Heat know what Herro will provide for them. The same goes for Adebayo defensively; Adebayo has picked up his game offensively well as of late, which is a good sign. Those two can only do so much; Miami needs other players to pick up some of the slack so Miami can get out of the play-in game or get better seeding for the play-in.
Wiggins has proven to be a valuable addition to Miami since his acquisition. He offers above-average three-point shooting at 36.7% and brings a much-needed post-up game to the team. Wiggins has a solid physical presence, allowing him to exploit mismatches when he is switched onto smaller guards.
He can significantly contribute to Miami’s playoff push by attacking the rim, a strategy that could enhance their offensive performance and increase rim pressure. As a great athlete, Wiggins has the ability to dunk on anyone, further adding to his impact on the game. Additionally, he can create opportunities to get to the free-throw line.
Wiggins is also a strong defender, capable of guarding multiple positions, which is essential for Miami’s roster. His performance has been impressive since joining the team, and it’s crucial for him to maintain this level of play to help Miami secure a spot in the playoffs.
