This is also the time where—if Duncan Robinson‘s going to find his shooting, you certainly need him to do it.

Jimmy Butler will keep being himself, though perhaps to a slightly greater extent to account for Bam’s absence. You can also expect Tyler Herro to continue taking advantage of his opportunity, a greater one now and especially with a few added touches.

Lastly and perhaps, most importantly, the Miami Heat will need to get something from the next trio. Between Omer Yurtseven, Udonis Haslem, and KZ Okpala, they’ll have to be able to get some solid minutes.

That’s especially until they get Markieff Morris back and probably still, afterward. P.J. Tucker has been playing some of the best ball of his career, so you’ll need him to keep doing that too.

At this point, they just need the bodies. So, though it won’t be easy and though not maybe to quite the same level of success as they’ve had up until this point, they’ll be ok.

By “ok”, you mean that they’ll be able to hold things steady enough until Bam returns. At least, you want to think, hope, and believe so.
