What To Watch For

Who’s going to step up with Kelly Olynyk out?

Last time, Olynyk led Miami with 19 points. Who can step up? The Heat will need more out of James Johnson and Bam Adebayo to win this game. Justise Winslow continues to start at power forward despite struggling offensively. Someone besides Dragic needs to have themselves a game and hopefully do some damage in the paint.
