▲Opp availabilityKeshad Johnson out
Opponent thinned — marginal help.

Michael Porter Jr. draws Miami Heat's drop coverage scheme — sits the big back to wall off the rim and lives with contested mid-range looks.

Primary assignment projects to Davion Mitchell (strong defender, 84 Perimeter D), Giannis Antetokounmpo secondary, with Bam Adebayo as the low-man/help.

He's cold — 17.4 pts a night over his last 5 (-10.4 vs season). Model lines Jr. at 26 pts (range 22–30) vs a 28 line — an uphill case to clear it (33%).

Biggest edge: opponent defense — soft unit — points come easier.

Model favors Miami Heat (74%), projected 117–122, ~239 total at 99.5 pace.
