He has been a force to be reckoned with, averaging 15 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists per game. His efficiency rating of 31 highlights his impact on the team's success. Adebayo's ability to dominate the paint and provide solid defense will be vital in containing Portland's offensive threats.


However, Adebayo is not alone in carrying the Miami Heat. Players like Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier have also been instrumental in their recent victories. Butler's scoring prowess and defensive tenacity have earned him an efficiency rating of 23 over the past three games. Rozier's ability to distribute the ball and knock down shots from beyond the arc make him a valuable asset to the team.
