Bam Adebayo and Kyle Lowry

Kyle Lowry is exactly the point guard the Heat have always needed. He is a winner, a leader and he plays defense which is something Miami loves to do. Statistically having his worst season since 2013,  Lowry is still making a major impact when he is on the floor.

Bam Adebayo is the heart of the Heat. Being able to cover all positions and be one of the better passing bigs, he will be key in Miami winning it all.

Yet, only playing in 27 games this year due to injury, the Heat are nearly first in the Eastern Conference standings.
