There is a lot more youth on the Miami Heat from a few years ago and it has changed the starting lineup. Bam Adebayo got the starting gig once Hassan Whiteside out of down and that pushes names like Kelly Olynyk to the bench. Duncan Robinson and Jae Crowder will draw starts every now and then with Derrick Jones also getting worked in. Jimmy Butler starts next to Kendrick Nunn at the two-guard. This has given the Heat a good bench as they have Tyler Herro and Goran Dragic coming off to provide plenty of offense.

Meyers Leonard has drawn more starts with the Heat but isn't a heavily used player as he averages right around 20 minutes per game.
