Miami Heat Host the Dallas Mavericks at Home on the Evening of October 26
The Miami Heat will host the Dallas Mavericks at home on Monday evening, October 26, with the game set to tip off at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time at the Kaseya Center and televised by NBA TV. The Heat have suffered three straight losses to start the season and currently stand at 0 wins and 3 losses, having lost to teams including the Timberwolves and the Pistons, and the team is still looking for a stable scoring option as its new additions settle in. According to a Yahoo Sports analysis on October 26, since trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo the Heat have leaned heavily on him in the first few games; he scored 35 points against the Timberwolves and 36 against the Pistons, but the team's overall performance has fluctuated considerably. The Mavericks currently stand at 1 win and 2 losses and likewise eager for a win to steady their start. For the Heat's head coach, the tactical key to this game is how role players can take advantage of open opportunities when Antetokounmpo draws double teams. Heat fans are already anxious about the three straight losses to open the season, but the Yahoo Sports analysis holds that it is still too early to pass judgement on the team's prospects; the key lies in whether defensive rotations and bench scoring can improve as soon as possible. The home game on October 26 will be the Heat's first home opportunity to turn their start around.
