With just 23 games left in the season, the Miami Heat have a chance to go on a nice little run into postseason play. Adding Kevin Love and Cody Zeller in recent days, they have now reinforced their big man rotation, while adding shooting and a much-needed rebounding presence to pair along with Bam Adebayo as they move forward.

And as they move forward across these last 20 games or so, hopefully, they can begin to figure out who they will be once the lights are on. But what will that look like?

It’s a great question and in fact, it’s the subject of the latest AllUCanHeat Roundtable.

My Take

When it comes to the Miami Heat and their final 23 games, things should get pretty interesting. With Bam Adebayo having his first chance to play alongside another true big and nonetheless, a big like Kevin Love who is capable of stretching the floor with great aptitude, that should make for a fascinating and explosive combination for the Miami Heat.

Once you add that to the fact that Jimmy Butler usually turns it on in a major way around this time of the year, becoming a top-five player once the playoffs are on the horizon, the Miami Heat should have a very good chance to win a lot of the games they play in the remainder of the year.

And with that being said, here’s the prediction.

Record Prediction Across Final 23 Games: 16-7
