The Miami Heat have recently hit somewhat of a hot stretch, going 6-4 in their last 10 games, which included a four-game win streak. Two of those wins came against quality opponents, the Denver Nuggets and the Detroit Pistons, back-to-back. The Heat haven't rounded the corner completely just yet, but they're showing signs of life, which can't be said for how December started for them.
Even in Miami's recent turnaround, one major factor continues to disappoint, and that's where Bam Adebayo falls into the picture — he's not playing great. Yet, the Heat, being led by star role player Norman Powell, are back in the Eastern Conference picture, albeit it will likely lead to another play-in spot.
