With so many offensive struggles, the Heat need to rely on their defense to help stay in the game, but this, like their offense, has been a struggle.
This is alarmingly bad when talking about the backbone of your playoff run. Through four games, he’s averaged 21.8 points (the lowest mark of any series so far) on 44.6% shooting while being outscored in fourth quarters by both Bam Adebayo and Duncan Robinson. On top of their shooting regressing back to what we’ve become used to this season, Jimmy Butler has been nearly a non-factor in this series. Being down 3-1 in the series, it’s rather obvious which game they won, as the unsustainable 48.6% mark from distance was a driving factor in their lone win so far this series. NUGGETS BEST BETSĪs alluded to previously, the Miami Heat are suffering from the fact that their three-point production has regressed back to the levels we saw throughout the 82-game regular season. Odds and lines are accurate at the time of publication via FanDuel Sportsbook. With the Heat facing a 3-1 series deficit on the road, I have very little faith that they have enough fight remaining to take one last significant swing at Denver. Their three-point production has resembled their struggles during the regular season far more than it has resembled the other-worldly efficiency we saw earlier in the playoffs in this series and the Nuggets have capitalized. After scorching through their first three rounds of playoff basketball, the Miami Heat seem to be running out of gas.
