Miami Heat: Why the upcoming stretch is huge for Andre Iguodala

The Miami Heat have a very winnable stretch of games before them. No matter the opposition though, here’s why it’s a massive one for Andre Iguodala.

The Miami Heat will kick off their post-All-Star Break return, the second half of the season as some like to call it, with an away game showdown versus the Atlanta Hawks. While All-Star Trae Young will be in the starting lineup, one of their newest editions in Clint Capela will be sidelined by injury.

This next one is kind of weird, but worth a mention, so please follow us here. Capela will likely be replaced in the starting lineup by another one of the Hawks’ newest additions, but also a returning player to the Atlanta Hawks, in Dewayne Dedmond. Quite the process, but worth a mention because that speaks to them not being able to deploy their full arsenal against the Miami Heat.

This is important in general because you always hope for a Heat win, but it also is a conditional factor for this particular game that points to a trend across the Miami Heat’s next few games. If you take a look at the schedule, it appears as though they have a rather winnable stretch of games before them.

This is important specifically for many reasons like getting off to a good start in the second half of the year, pushing yourself just that much closer to securing a top seed in the Eastern Conference’s playoff race, or lastly and most importantly, getting players back into or into a rhythm at all to close out the season. Specifically here, we mean Andre Iguodala.
