The Heat are putting up an average of 110.9 points per game, which puts them 19th in the NBA for offense. They’re letting up 110.1 points per game, ranking 7th in the league for defense. When it comes to rebounding, the Heat grab 42.8 boards per game (19th), but they’re giving up 45.8 rebounds, which puts them 24th in the NBA. On a brighter note, Miami has been solid from deep, ranking 5th with a 38.2% shooting percentage from beyond the arc, and they’re making 15.0 three-pointers per game, which is 8th in the league.
