Miami Heat: 3 best lineups for closing games this season
By Jack Simone
The Miami Heat made some critical additions to the team this offseason. Not only did they sign Kyle Lowry to a three-year deal, but they also managed to steal PJ Tucker away from the Bucks.
On top of that, they re-signed Victor Oladipo, gave Duncan Robinson a massive deal, and brought in Markieff Morris. The Heat are primed to be a contender next season.

With all the new additions, Erik Spoelstra has a ton of different lineups he can roll out next year. Once Oladipo is healthy, he could have seven players legitimately worthy of a starting spot.
Unfortunately for the Miami Heat, only five players can be on the floor at once. What are the three best lineups to close games next season?
Best Miami Heat lineups to close games next year: The fight night lineup
PG: Kyle Lowry
SG: Jimmy Butler
SF: PJ Tucker
PF: Markieff Morris
C: Bam Adebayo
If the Miami Heat need to make things messy, this is the lineup to do it. Nobody in their right mind would mess with them if this lineup was on the court.
Any one of the players, outside of maybe Bam Adebayo, would gladly get into a scuffle with anybody on the opposing team. A fight could break out as soon as they stepped on the court.
Tucker and Morris are two role players that love to do whatever it takes to win. That just happens to include pushing and shoving anyone who gets in their way.
As for Jimmy Butler, anyone who watches basketball knows what he’s willing to do for his team. Add in a scrappy point guard in Kyle Lowry, and the Miami Heat have a great bully ball lineup.
