The trade deadline has come and gone and Miami got their man in Andre Iguodala.
Portland was not as busy. The only traded away power Skal Labissiere to the Atlanta Hawks for a top 55 projected second-round pick. They mainly did the trade for luxury tax bill purposes.
Damian Lillard has been playing lights out for the Trail Blazers recently. He’s been averaging 42.4 points over the last 10 games.
Iguodala’s addition before the trade deadline could benefit the Heat defensively. He’s a great addition to their wing presence and his versatility.
Don’t be surprised to see Iguodala guarding Lillard. How well Iguodala defends Lillard could determine the game.
Portland Trail Blazers
During Lillard’s offensive tear these last few weeks, the Trail Blazers have beaten the Pacers, Rockets, Lakers, and Jazz.

During those 4 games, he scored 50, 36, 48, and 51. If Lillard goes off against the Heat, it’s over.
Lillard’s offensive renaissance has helped the Trail Blazers win 5 of their last 7 games. They now find themselves 3 games behind for the last playoff spot.
Iguodala is a great defender. The former 2015 finals MVP is still capable of shutting down any teams number one offensive option.
It will be a great match up and if Iguodala can slow down Lillard to less than 30 points, the Heats defense should do the rest.
Miami Heat
The Iguodala trade will solidify the Heat of defense, particularly at the wing position.
What the Heat does well on defense is in limiting opponent’s FG%. They are in the top ten in limiting opponent’s FG %.
They are also number one in limiting their opponents 3 point %. Opponents only average 33.2% from three-point range against the Heat.
Iguodala is also a versatile player that will complement the playing style of Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo.
With the combination of Iguodala, Butler, and Adebayo, the Heat has three versatile players that can create a lot of matchup problems for teams.
This will give the Heat options on rotating their defensive duties depending on who they face.
Against the Trail Blazers, they will be able to man-mark CJ McCollum, Hassan Whiteside, and Lillard.
Lillard has been hard to stop recently but if they can keep the rest of the Trail Blazers at bay, they have a chance to win this game.
