Crazy Miami Heat stats that stick out: Bam Adebayo 14.0 rebounds

This is another stat that Miami Heat fans should love to see. If he continues to grab this many boards, it would blow his previous career-high in rebounds per game out of the water.

Bam Adebayo has been an absolute monster on the boards for the Heat this season. 14 per game puts him fourth in the entire league in that statistic.

Having a guy who can grab as many boards as he is right now is a privilege for the Heat. As a team, they are top five in the league in rebounds right now.

While it’s unlikely that he keeps up this pace, this is a great sign for the rest of the year. Hopefully, Adebayo sets his career-high in rebounds this year.

Crazy Miami Heat stats that stick out: Tyler Herro 19.3 FGA

Tyler Herro is the team leader in field goal attempts right now. Coming into the season, not many people would have pegged him as the one to lead the Heat in that stat.

Throughout the preseason, Herro showed flashes of greatness, and he has not slowed down in the regular season. He is second on the team in scoring and leading them in field goals attempted.

Jimmy Butler may quickly take the lead in this category, but for now, Herro is on top. That might not be a bad thing for the team, either.

If Herro is leading the team in attempts, that means he is probably playing pretty well. The Miami Heat are going to need him to play his best if they want to effectively compete for a title.
