Our Heat vs. Lakers predictions expect a big night from Miami guard Terry Rozier.
Miami has won three of the first five games of this travel swing, even with star Jimmy Butler suspended and trying to force his way out of Florida. It’s been the role players — like guard Terry Rozier — that have helped keep the Heat competitive during this stretch.Some nights, Rozier is scoring buckets or pulling down rebounds, and other nights, he’s serving as a playmaker to set up teammates.
The Heat run a controlled pace with the basketball and thrive on playmaking, boasting a Top-10 assist-to-FG ratio, which has spiked even higher during this road trip. Rozier is averaging 4.4 assists over those past five games while also being clocked for 5.5 potential assists per contest in that span.
With Butler out and Bam banged up, Tyler Herro will have the green light against a struggling Lakers defense.
