Arguably the biggest question in this series is whether Wade can stay healthy. LeBron James’ sidekick has not quite been himself in this postseason, although he did show some glimpses of what he is capable of in the second-round. Miami desperately need Wade to be his explosive self when they take on Indiana.
Hibbert struggled offensively for most of the regular season, but eventually picked it up towards the end of the year. Against the Knicks, Roy had several scoring outbursts and his postseason average this season is at 14 points per game. If he can find ways to score, the Heat will have a handful to deal with down low.
Bosh has struggled offensively in the playoffs. He seemed to have finally found his way after he dropped 20 points and grabbed 19 rebounds against the Bulls. While he hasn’t scored quite as much since, he has not forced anything and has been efficient. He needs to continue along the same track.
James has been fantastic as always in these playoffs, but George has elevated his game to another level. Just like LeBron, Paul does it all for the Pacers and it will be very interesting to see whether James dominates the matchup or if George can keep up.
Stephenson dropped a career-high 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as the Pacers closed out the Knicks. He has been somewhat of a revelation in this postseason, and if he can stay aggressive and continue rebounding at an incredible rate, that will certainly give Indiana a huge lift.
