Through five games played in the 2024-25 regular season, he is averaging 9.4 points per game while shooting 37.8 percent from the floor.<\/p>\n<p>But on the bright side, he has seemingly upped his effectiveness as a rebounder compared to a season ago. He has been one of Miami\u2019s more reliable rebounders so far, as he\u2019s pulling down 7.6 per game, which ranks as the second-most of any player on the Heat behind Bam Adebayo.<\/p>\n<p>Love, on the other hand, has yet to make his season debut with the Heat, but he made an impact as a rebounder and 3-point shooter last season. He averaged 6.1 rebounds and 1.5 made 3s per game across 55 appearances for Miami during the 2023-24 regular season.<\/p>\n<p>When factoring in how well the Suns have played of late, the Heat could be in for a long night on Wednesday sans Jaquez or Love in the lineup. Phoenix is riding a five-game winning streak at the moment, the second-longest streak of any team in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n<p>The Suns haven\u2019t lost a game since Oct. 25, and the play of Kevin Durant is a big reason why that\u2019s the case. Durant is 36 years old, yet he remains one of the NBA\u2019s premier offensive players. In his third season as a member of the Suns, he\u2019s averaging 27.1 points per game on 54.8 percent shooting from the field and 43.6 percent from 3-point range.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jim Rassol-Imagn Images The\u00a0Miami Heat\u00a0will look to avoid their third loss in four games when they take on the\u00a0Phoenix Suns\u00a0on Wednesday night, but Miami will be without&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":6586,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
