Miami Heat: 24-22
Phoenix Suns: 26-20

This is an important game. Miami needs a win pretty badly. Let's get the job done.

Miami is 32-38 vs Phoenix all-time in regular season. They've never played in the postseason obviously.
Miami is 16-18 vs Phoenix in Miami.
Miami lost the first 16 games against Phoenix.
Miami had a 12-game winning streak vs Phoenix in the 2010-2015 period.



Miami have a 6 game losing streak and are 3-7 over the last 10.
Phoenix have lost the last two games. Booker scored 44 pts in the last loss vs Orlando.



Heat's Possible Starting lineup:

(Scary) Terry Rozier, Tyler Herro, Jimmy Butler, Haywood Highsmith, Edrice (Bam) Adebayo

Miami Bench: Duncan Robinson, Jaime Jaquez Jr, Caleb Martin, Kevin Love, Nikola Jović, Thomas Bryant, Josh Richardson

2-way players probably won't play. Oscar Robinson is also in Sioux Falls.



Miami Injuries:

Dru Smith (out for regular season)

You might remember the last game in Phoenix:

But here's another Grayson Allen video from last year:

Phoenix Possible Starting lineup:

Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Grayson Allen (heat killer), Kevin Durant, Drew Eubanks

Phoenix Bench: Eric Gordon, Keita Bates-Diop, Udoka Azubuike, Chimezie Metu, Josh Okogie, Jordan Goodwin, Nassir Little

Phoenix Injuries:

Nurkic (thumb sprain, might play)
Bol Bol (right foot strain, should not play)
Damion Lee (right meniscus surgery - out)



Comments: 1. Feb 8, 2024 is trade deadline.
2. Miami has a free roster space. Signing a 15th player also adds more eligibility for 2-way players. It will happen.

JB's friend had some words...he suspects Bam had been figured out and needs help, Herro didn't fit, but last game Herro was trying to shoot more and dribble less, yet he has the highest usage on the team, then Bam. Jimmy doesn't get that many touches because plays aren't ran for him and the front office is being firm in holding picks vs going all in. He knows who we didn't pursue because of picks; I strongly assume he's not talking about Dame since he and his agent fkd it up.

Imagine your Booker and Beal looking at who will be defending you.

Spoiler:

I feel bad for Terry and Herro but maybe they surprise us
