Miami Heat
Remember the Miami Heat from last year’s NBA Bubble? They became the first 5-seed to reach the NBA Finals in NBA history last year and while they came up short of beating the Los Angeles Lakers, they definitely have a shot to run it back this year in the playoffs should they be healthy.
Whether or not they are healthy is a big “if,” especially since Oladipo is out with a mysterious knee injury right now and Tyler Herro has been in and out of the lineup due to injuries. Overall though, this Heat team is built for the postseason.
Jimmy Butler is going to turn it on once again when the Heat get into the postseason and Bam Adbayo is going to do his thing being a scoring and passing threat at the center position, but other guys like Kendrick Nunn, Duncan Robinson and veteran Trevor Ariza are all threats in their own ways.
This Heat team is unique in the sense that they do not necessarily have a “go-to” scoring option, which could be their kryptonite in the playoffs, but it could also help them out like it did last year. When things are clicking for the Heat offensively, they are tough to stop because you never know who is going to have the ball in their hands!

They are a very inconsistent team and have been all season long, but never count out the Miami Heat in the postseason! They have what it takes to make it back to the NBA Finals and definitely will not be an easy team to beat this year in a 7-game series.
