Miami Heat
The Miami Heat have achieved a five-game winning streak, catapulting them to near the top of the Eastern Conference standings. The Heat have been successful despite injuries to two key perimeter players, Tyler Herro (ankle) and Caleb Martin (knee). The defense has carried them, as they rank int he top five in three-point defense and in the bottom third in a number of other defensive categories. The offense relies heavily on the three-point shot, where they rank fifth in the NBA. Jimmy Butler (18.5 ppg) is Miami's leader and should be a key element for their success against Charlotte.
