Adebayo amassed 24 points (7-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Sunday's 121-110 win over the Pistons.
Adebayo fell one board short of what would've been his 26th double-double of the campaign. The six dimes were the star big man's most since the Jan. 28 loss to Orlando, and Adebayo is riding a six-game streak with at least 20 points. During this span, Adebayo has averaged 24.2 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 34.0 minutes per game.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Double-doubles with five dimes
Rotowire
Adebayo accumulated 24 points (10-26 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Friday's 128-120 victory over the Hornets.
Adebayo had a tough time getting his shot to drop in this one and missed all five of his three-point attempts, but he made up for it with his work on the glass and also finished the match without committing a single turnover. The Heat closed the game with an Adebayo-Kel'el Ware frontcourt pairing, and Ware finished with 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one steal and four swats over 31 minutes in the win.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Posts loaded line Thursday
Rotowire
Adebayo provided 21 points (7-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Thursday's 126-110 victory over the Nets.
Even though there's a strong argument to say Kel'el Ware outplayed Adebayo with his impressive stat line, Adebayo was one of Miami's top scoring weapons in a comfortable 16-point win. The star big man extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to four, and he's recorded three double-doubles over that stretch as well. Adebayo will likely remain as one of Miami's most reliable scoring and rebounding weapons for the Heat going forward.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Nears double-double in defeat
Rotowire
Adebayo notched 18 points (8-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 128-117 loss to the Bucks.
After scoring 13 points on just seven shots in Saturday's win over Memphis, Adebayo was much more aggressive on the offensive end Tuesday. While the star big man finished as Miami's second-leading scorer, he was significantly less efficient. On a more positive note, he led the club in rebounds and also chipped in both a steal and a swat for the first time since Jan. 25. Adebayo has scored fewer than 20 points in all three of his outings following the All-Star break, averaging 16.0 points, 7.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 28.3 minutes per game during that span.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Sniffs double-double in victory
Rotowire
Adebayo produced 17 points (8-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 128-97 win over Atlanta.
Although Adebayo's streak of 20-plus-point outings ended at three, he was efficient from the field and finished as Miami's second-leading scorer in this one. However, the star big man wasn't very effective from beyond the arc and has shot just 27.8 percent from downtown in February. On a more positive note, he grabbed at least eight boards for a fourth consecutive contest and has dished out at least five dimes twice over his last three.

Adebayo recorded his 23rd double-double of the year, also swatting a season-high four shots. It was notably the All-Star big man's first rejection since the Jan. 25 win in Phoenix and his first multi-block effort since the Dec. 18 victory in Brooklyn. Adebayo is still rolling into the All-Star break, averaging 22.4 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 33.0 minutes per tilt in his last 13 games.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Nursing hip injury
Rotowire
Adebayo is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Wizards due to right hip tightness.
Adebayo may have tweaked his hip during the Heat's 98-96 loss to the Celtics on Friday, when he finished with 16 points (5-13 FG, 4-6 FT, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 35 minutes. The injury doesn't appear to be a severe one given the probable tag, though the Heat are playing three games over the next four days, including a back-to-back set with the Wizards and Jazz on Sunday and Monday, respectively. Kel'el Ware would stand to see a sizable jump in minutes if Adebayo were to miss any time prior to the All-Star break.

Adebayo supplied 25 points (8-15 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 130-117 victory over Sacramento.

Adebayo displayed his floor-stretching ability with four three-pointers but trailed behind Jaime Jaquez in the rebound category. The Heat need more nights like this from Adebayo as they attempt to climb up the Eastern Conference standings.
