The Miami Heat continue to slip down the NBA.com power rankings. Last week, the Heat stood at No. 18. This week, the team is No. 20. Miami has gone 1-4 over the last five games. The Heat's late-game woes continue to be a driving force in the team's decline.
The new-look Miami Heat are rolling through the second half of the season after passing the NBA's All-Star Break. The Heat traded Jimmy Butler to Golden State just before the trade deadline last month. A five-team trade saw Butler land with the Warriors and Miami pick up Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Anderson and Davion Mitchell.
Kevin Pelton of ESPN has suggested a blockbuster trade idea that would send Durant to Miami. Adding Durant would put the Heat back on the radar immediately. In his trade idea, he has Miami creating a package built around Andrew Wiggins and either Jaime Jaquez Jr. or Nikola Jovic. The Heat would also include draft picks in the deal.
The Minnesota Timberwolves will visit the Miami Heat in an interconference matchup on Friday's NBA schedule. Miami is 29-32 overall and 15-12 at home, while Minnesota is 35-29 overall and 18-15 on the road.
Miami Heat captain Bam Adebayo travels the world with ‘Mama Bam’ (and legends such as Dwyane Wade) from exotic vacations to — twice — winning Olympic gold.
Adebayo is fined $50,000 for making inappropriate contact with and directing profane language toward a game official after Friday's loss to the Timberwolves.
