Devin Booker - Misses out on double-doubleBooker contributed 22 points (9-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and nine assists in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 115-112 victory over the Heat.

ImpactBooker's team-high nine assists left him just short of a double-double during Wednesday's win. Across his last three outings, the star guard is averaging 8.0 dimes. However, Booker is in a brief shooting slump, converting just 17.4 percent of his 7.7 three-point attempts per contest over that span.

Kel'el Ware - Makes impact off benchWare finished Wednesday's 115-112 loss to the Suns with seven points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one block and two steals in 14 minutes.

ImpactWare made just his third appearance of the season Wednesday as he has been an inconsistent part of Miami's rotation. The rookie big man capitalized on his season-high 14 minutes to show off his defensive potential and ability to stretch the floor. Thomas Bryant logged no minutes against Phoenix, so it will be worth monitoring to see if Ware replaces him as the Heat's backup center going forward.

Bam Adebayo - Logs five stealsAdebayo produced 12 points (5-21 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists, one block and five steals over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 115-112 loss to the Suns.

ImpactAdebayo struggled offensively, making fewer than 25 percent of his attempts from the field en route to his fifth game with 12 or fewer points this season. He made up for the offensive inefficiencies on the defensive end, compiling his fifth-career five steal game. Through seven games, Adebayo is averaging 14.9 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.4 blocks across 32.4 minutes.

Tyler Herro - Catches fire against SunsHerro contributed 28 points (9-15 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and six assists in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 115-112 loss to Phoenix.

ImpactOn a night where the other four Heat starters shot 14-for-46 (30.4 percent) from the field, Herro needed to step up offensively. He did just that, collecting a team-high 28 points while tying for the team lead in assists. Herro's off to a strong start in 2024-25 averaging 22.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists across 31.2 minutes on 50/46/82 shooting splits.

Haywood Highsmith - Sees increased playing timeHighsmith contributed 19 points (7-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and two steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 115-112 loss to the Suns.

ImpactHighsmith played two and eight minutes in his last two appearances, respectively, but emerged as a key contributor in Wednesday's loss. He replaced Nikola Jovic in the Heat starting lineup coming out of halftime and set a season high in points. Jovic finished the game with just five minutes played but it doesn't appear he sustained an injury during the contest. If that's the case, Wednesday's contest could be the start of Highsmith's push for a more secure role. The 27-year-old has appeared in five of seven games for Miami after averaging 20.7 minutes per game in the regular season during 2023-24.
