## Resource

Miami Heat crack the top 11 in CBS’s early rankings, but their offensive spacing concerns—especially with Giannis and Bam not being shooters—could be overstated. Giannis’ elite presence creates space and drives lanes, while Miami’s projected top-five defense fuels transition and pressure. The bench, led by shooters like Wiggins and Hardaway Jr., offers scoring potential when unleashed. Health remains the biggest hurdle for this top-heavy roster, but with Spoelstra at the helm, they’re poised to be a top-four East seed—outperforming many ranked above them.
