Bam Adebayo
MIA • Center-Forward • #13
Bam Adebayo recorded 22 points (9-of-20 FGs), nine rebounds, one assist and four three-pointers in 40 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Cavaliers in Game 3.
Adebayo appeared to be one of the few Heat players to understand what was on the line Saturday afternoon, with the 37-point loss dropping them into an 0-3 hole. With the defeat, Miami has now lost its last seven home playoff games, which does not bode well for its chances of extending the series in Game 4 on Monday. At the very least, Adebayo can be counted on to compete at a high level.

Tyler Herro
MIA • Guard • #14

Tyler Herro struggled mightily on Monday and finished with just four points (1-of-10 FGs), one rebound, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer in a 138-83 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 4 on Monday.
Though this was an excellent season for Herro, it ended on the lowest note possible. After struggling in Game 3, Herro was even worse in Miami’s final game of the year as they were swept in a 55-point loss. The Heat hosted two playoff games and lost by a total of 82 points during them. Herro set career highs for points and assists this season and should be drafted much earlier ahead of the 2025-26 season. However, things got really ugly in this one.

Bam Adebayo recorded a double-double on Monday with 13 points (6-of-13 FGs), 12 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one three-pointer against the Cavaliers in Game 4.
What started off as a disappointing season for Adebayo eventually turned into a strong one for him, but it wasn’t enough to change Miami’s fortunes in the postseason. Nothing changes for him entering next season. He’s still the franchise cornerstone, along with Tyler Herro. Adebayo’s production improved after the Jimmy Butler trade, which will hopefully translate into a big 2025-26 season for him, though it may depend on what moves the Heat make this season. Regardless, Adebayo should at least be considered a top-50 player entering next season and has the potential for more.
Nikola Jović

Nikola Jovic led the Heat with 24 points (8-of-15 FGs), five rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in Game 4 against the Cavaliers on Monday.
There usually aren’t many positives from a 55-point loss that ends your season, but Jovic’s performance was an encouraging one. He led both teams in scoring, though Cleveland pulling its starters early certainly helped with that. Jovic will turn 22 in June and certainly is one of the bright spots for Miami moving forward. Considering Jovic only returned for the playoffs after being sidelined since February, this type of performance was great to see. He started off last season as a starter and certainly could be in that role again to start next year.

Myles Turner amassed 23 points (9-of-13 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one three-pointer in 30 minutes in Sunday’s Game 4 win over the Bucks.
Turner thoroughly outplayed Bucks center Brook Lopez in Game 4, rebounding from a 1-of-9 effort in Indiana’s Game 3 loss on Friday. Impactful on both ends of the floor, Turner’s production was one reason why the Pacers head back home with a 3-1 series lead. Game 5 is on Tuesday, and teams that hold a 3-1 lead have won 95.5 percent of the series in NBA playoff history.

Karl-Anthony Towns posted 27 points (10-of-22 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs) with nine rebounds, an assist, a block, and five three-pointers against the Pistons on Sunday.
KAT made the most important bucket of the night from long distance to give the Knicks a 94-93 lead in the fourth quarter. The star big man has bounced back in a big way after scoring just 10 points in Game 2. He’s on fire from beyond the arc, hitting nine of his last 14 attempts over the past two games, and will look to continue stretching the floor with his sharpshooting in Game 5.

Mitchell Robinson (illness) is active for Sunday’s game against the Pistons.
Robinson has overcome his illness and will be available for Sunday’s game against the Pistons. It’s unclear if he’ll be able to carry his usual workload, so there’s still a chance Precious Achiuwa could take on a minor role off the bench.
