"The Miami Heat may not have gotten the result they wanted against the Utah Jazz, but Erik Spoelstra may have just found the perfect sweet spot with his rotation that should appease both the front office and the fans. It consists of a fine mix between giving his veterans big minutes, while also giving the young players an opportunity to prove themselves."
"The two biggest differences for Spo over the past two games are that he's playing Jakucionis a lot more, and he finally appears willing to give a frontcourt duo of Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware a fair shot. Over the past two games, Jakucionis is averaging 29 minutes played, with Ware and Bam playing the most they've played together so far this season. Ware was quietly re-inserted into the starting lineup against the Jazz, too."
Erik Spoelstra adjusted the rotation to balance heavy minutes for veterans with meaningful opportunities for younger players. Jakucionis has seen increased playing time, averaging 29 minutes across the past two games. Spo is giving Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware extended opportunities together, and Ware was quietly reinserted into the starting lineup before foul trouble limited his minutes. The Heat are 1-1 over their last two games, but the rotation should continue prioritizing Bam-Ware lineups and Jakucionis' minutes. Pelle Larsson should receive extended time upon return. The team can pursue a playoff push while developing its young core.
