NBA Playoffs: Storylines, predictions for Miami Heat vs. Indiana Pacers

How will the “others (Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, Goran Dragic)” for the Heat step up?

Ultimately, one of the biggest reasons why the Miami Heat is such a dangerous team is because of their depth. It’s not just Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler. Part of what makes this team special is their “others” that continuously step up in a big way. A few of the biggest “others” on the Heat include Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, and Goran Dragic. In the eight bubble games, each of those players has played a big part in the team’s success.

Herro has made a big stride since the hiatus and looks like a much more polished offensive player and has even flashed as a primary playmaker. Duncan Robinson continues to be the best 3-point shooter in the NBA and has even made strides in his off-the-dribble offense.

Dragic has picked up where he left off pre-hiatus and remains as one of the best sixth men in the league (when he’s not starting). If the Heat is going to make a deep run in the postseason, each of these three players will have to play a big role.
