Adebayo's 27 points and 3 steals both marked season highs, coming well above his previous 5 games (14.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.2 steals, 0.6 blocks and 0.6 threes in 31.1 minutes a game). His 11-of-14 shooting pushed his field-goal percentage up after a rough stretch. The 33 minutes sat just above his 31.1-minute average over that span, so the workload remained steady.

Season to date (6 games, this one included), Adebayo is averaging 16.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 31.5 minutes a game. His 21.7% usage rate and 50.2% true shooting place him as a starting centre ranked 27th overall with 2.23 nine-category value and 40.3 projected fantasy points per game. Miami has 1 game left this week, on Friday, with no games scheduled next week.

What to do

• Start Adebayo in his final game this week on Friday, when Miami plays its third contest in six days.

• Hold Adebayo as a top-30 asset who delivers across multiple categories, with tonight's scoring spike a bonus rather than a new baseline.

• Monitor whether Miami increases his workload or usage after the strong shooting night, though no change has occurred yet.
