Kevin Love is a surprise player who has turned back the clock. No, he is not the double-double machine that he once was in Minnesota. However, he has been very productive for Miami even at 35 years old. Love has been very important for Miami ever since they got hit with the injury bug.

Love scored in double figures six of his last seven games before suffering a knee injury. He has continued to be a solid source of rebounding for Miami. His outlet passes have people drawing comparisons to football quarterbacks.

He might not be the most consistent player the Heat have, but he can show up when needed. The Heat will look forward to him returning soon to make a second half push.
