Heat's Bam Adebayo: Mixed bag Monday
Bam Adebayo finished Monday's 106-89 victory over the 76ers with five points (2-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 13 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes.The veteran center led all rebounders on the night, and the 13 boards were one short of Adebayo's season high. The five points were also a season low, however, as the Miami Heat's other stars deferred to a returning Jimmy Butler. Through 13 contests, Adebayo is averaging 16.3 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.2 blocks and a surprising 0.8 threes on 31.3 percent shooting from long distance. The extra volume from beyond the arc is cutting into his field-goal percentage, which sits at a career-low 42.6 percent, but most of that decline is due to tough luck on short-range attempts that should improve as the season progresses.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Fills stat sheet Monday
Bam Adebayo logged 16 points (7-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-5 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, four blocks and three steals across 36 minutes during Monday's 111-110 loss to Sacramento.The Miami Heat came up short Monday in a thrilling contest, but Adebayo made his presence felt on both ends of the court with a dominant effort -- he recorded at least three tallies in each of the five major categories while shooting at an efficient clip from the floor. Adebayo has endured a relatively slow start as a scoring weapon, as he's surpassed the 15-point mark in just two of his six contests, but the star big man will continue to deliver value in other areas. Given his history, the 27-year-old should eventually figure things out on the offensive end.
