4. Dwyane Wade Needs to Be Dwyane Wade
If Wade has proven one thing this season, it’s that he’s still got it. In the 2015-16 regular season, Wade played in 74 of the Heat’s 82 games games and averaged 19.0 points per game. In order to put a hurting on the Hornets, he will likely need to average at least 20 points per game in the series.
Wade tends to play better in bigger games and it would come as no surprise if his scoring numbers see an uptick in his first playoff appearance since LeBron James left town. This will be another chance for Wade to prove doubters wrong and show that he still deserves that “elite” classification in this league. Watch for him to actively take games over in the fourth quarter throughout Miami’s playoff run.
