The Miami Heat have only eight games with a true rest advantage this season, one fewer than it did last year and one more than it did in 2022-23.
While Miami's schedule showcases intriguing matchups, the true rest advantage—where one team is rested and the other is not—could significantly impact their performance.
The Brooklyn Nets lead the NBA with games in true rest advantage with 15, highlighting the competitive edge teams can gain through scheduling.
Historically, the Heat's performance in games with a true rest advantage has been mixed; they went 4-5 in such games last year.
