The Miami Heat return home for a one-game stint against the Boston Celtics. Better yet, the Heat’s three new deadline acquisitions–Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Anderson, and Davion Mitchell–whom they acquired last week are available to make their team debuts.

It’s still fuzzy what the rotation will look like on Monday and beyond, but what can it look like when everyone is fully healthy? Let’s examine!

Locks:

Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo:

Herro is an All-Star and Adebayo is the best all-around player on the team. Do I need to say more? Next!

Kel’el Ware:

I was lower on the initial fit of Ware next to Adebayo because of how clunky the offense may look. While it’s not always perfect, Ware’s knocked down 42.3 percent of his long-range attempts while averaging 12.0 points, 10.3 rebounds and 1.1 blocks since entering the starting lineup full-time.

I was happily wrong and pleasantly surprised, though I am not sure if anyone expected his development to be this far this early. Credit to not only the Heat’s developmental staff but to Ware himself!

Andrew Wiggins:

I don’t see any scenario where Wiggins isn’t the full-time starter. Listed at 6-foot-7 with a 7-foot wingspan, he offers plenty of extra length and defensive versatility alongside Adebayo and Ware. Not to mention, he’s averaging 17.6 points and 4.6 rebounds (1.5 ORB) on 44.4/37.9/77.7 shooting splits.

Once he gets integrated, I think he will get plenty of run with this group because of how malleable he is and how well he knows how to excel in his role, even if he’s a worse shot-creator and playmaker than Butler.

Fringe Locks:

Duncan Robinson:

It’s been an up-and-down season for Robinson, but he has started the last 11 games and works well with Adebayo. His gravity alone makes him one of their most impactful threats offensively. Robinson’s averaging 12.4 points on 39.7 percent shooting from 3-point range over his last 10 games. He will benefit from the extra spacing that Wiggins provides and won’t be tasked to do as much at the point-of-attack defensively when they share the floor together. For the time being, I think he should be the starter.

Locks To Come Off Bench:

Nikola Jovic:

Since the turn of the calendar, Jovic has been averaging 13.6 points on 48.0/40.0/86.5 shooting splits, in addition to 4.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists across 30.2 minutes per game. He’s been one of the primary beneficiaries of Butler’s absence as a spot-up shooter, defender and connector. He won’t have quite the burden with Wiggins’ addition, but I still expect him to play a prominent role in the rotation throughout the rest of the season.

New Spark Plugs?:

Kyle Anderson and Davion Mitchell:

There’s no guarantee that either one of Anderson or Mitchell will be in the rotation this week. There are 13 players for 9-10 spots.

Anderson, 31, has played key roles on multiple playoff teams over his career and can do a little bit of everything, even though his most shaky skill is his herky-jerky shooting. Nicknamed “Slo-Mo,” Anderson immediately becomes one of the Heat’s best off-ball defenders while being one of their better playmaking wings. Head coach Erik Spoelstra will utilize his skillset, one way or another.

Mitchell, 26, is one of the best point-of-attack defenders at 6-foot-2 in the entire NBA. His tenacious defense against primary shot creators led to the nickname “off night,” because players have off nights when defended by him. He has limitations offensively, but he’s improved as a shotmaker and playmaker over his career.

Back End Of Rotation:

Jaime Jaquez Jr.:

Jaquez’s 3-point shooting struggles have bled into his sophomore season. He could be one player to benefit from Anderson’s addition because both are smart, heady players who operate in similar spots. Jaquez isn’t quite the playmaker Anderson is, but I wonder if the veteran’s acumen in the post, as a cutter and defender wears off on the soon-to-be 24-year-old.

Haywood Highsmith:

Highsmith’s defense hasn’t quite been up to par this season, but the 28-year-old wing is having arguably the most productive season of his career despite his 3-point shooting hitting a minor rut. He’s still averaging 6.4 points and 3.1 rebounds on 46.8 percent shooting and 39.0 percent from deep. He is in this category because there is a world where he is squeezed out of the rotation because of the Heat’s abundance of wings, though the swing skill is how he plays in his limited playing time.

Terry Rozier:

He was a disaster in the second half of Friday’s game, but Rozier’s still averaging 16.1 points on 44.1/39.5/66.7 shooting over his last seven games. He should be relegated to a spot-up and secondary/tertiary creation role from this point forward–if he’s in. We’ll see how much leash he has with Mitchell here–especially in closing lineups.

How do you want the Miami Heat rotation to look?
