Bam Adebayo, a cornerstone of the Heat’s lineup, has been instrumental this season, averaging 16.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 3.3 assists over the last 20 games. His absence would leave a glaring hole in both the offense and defense, particularly against a Pacers team that ranks ninth in the league in scoring.

The Heat’s injury report also includes Dru Smith, who is out for the season with an Achilles injury, and Nikola Jovic, sidelined with a hand issue. Andrew Wiggins is also questionable with an ankle problem, further depleting Miami’s depth.

The Pacers, meanwhile, enter the game with their own injury concerns. T.J. McConnell is questionable with an ankle issue, while Isaiah Jackson is out for the season with a calf injury. Despite these setbacks, Indiana boasts a strong offensive core led by Pascal Siakam and Tyrese Haliburton, who have been consistent contributors.

Miami’s struggles this season have been well-documented, with a -34 scoring differential and a 27-30 record.

His ability to dominate the boards and anchor the defense has been vital, as evidenced by his 10 rebounds per game, which ranks 14th in the NBA.
