Miami Heat Outlook
The Heat are thriving offensively despite key absences. Norman Powell (groin) and Tyler Herro (ankle surgery) remain sidelined, but Erik Spoelstra’s system has adjusted seamlessly. Miami leads the NBA in scoring (131.5 points per game) and ranks top five in both three-point accuracy (40.8%) and overall field goal percentage (50.8%).
Against Charlotte, Miami erupted for 144 points behind Jaime Jaquez Jr.’s career-high 28 points, Bam Adebayo’s 26, and Andrew Wiggins’ 21. Jaquez has emerged as an early breakout star, averaging 18.8 points on an incredible 68.9% shooting clip.
With Adebayo controlling the interior and Wiggins providing secondary scoring, Miami’s balance has been impressive. Their challenge will be containing San Antonio’s length and rim protection — something few teams have managed early this season.
Injury Report
- Norman Powell (G) – Questionable, Groin
- Tyler Herro (G) – Out, Ankle Surgery
- Kasparas Jakucionis (G) – Out, Groin
San Antonio Spurs Outlook
The Spurs’ 4-0 start has been fueled by historic performances from Victor Wembanyama, who’s averaging 31.0 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 4.8 blocks per game. His combination of elite defense and offensive versatility has anchored one of the NBA’s most efficient units.
Rookie guard Stephon Castle — last season’s Rookie of the Year — has flourished as a secondary playmaker, averaging 18.3 points and a team-best 4.8 assists. Fellow rookie Dylan Harper adds 14.8 points per game, giving San Antonio three players under 22 years old averaging double figures.
Head coach Mitch Johnson has emphasized ball movement and defense, with the Spurs ranking top three in both field goal percentage (52.4%) and rebounds per game (49.5). Even without point guard De’Aaron Fox (hamstring), San Antonio has displayed maturity, beating Toronto 121-103 behind another double-double from Wembanyama.
Injury Report
- De’Aaron Fox (G) – Day-to-Day, Hamstring
- Luke Kornet (F/C) – Questionable, Ankle
- Jeremy Sochan (F) – Out, Wrist
- Kelly Olynyk (F/C) – Out, Heel
Key Matchup / Path to Victory
The marquee duel features Bam Adebayo vs. Victor Wembanyama — two of the league’s premier defensive anchors. Miami’s offense thrives on ball movement and spacing, while San Antonio’s length could disrupt that rhythm.
If the Heat can stay hot from three and force the Spurs into a perimeter game, they’ll have a chance to steal a road win. But if Wembanyama controls the paint and Castle keeps pace with Miami’s guards, San Antonio’s balance should prevail.
