Garland certainly has done his part, averaging 21.3 points, 6.7 assists, 2.5 rebounds, while shooting 49.7 percent from the field and 42.8 percent on threes.

The Heat’s top candidate for the Feb. 16 All-Star Game, which will take place at Chase Center in San Francisco, is guard Tyler Herro. Heat center Bam Adebayo and forward Jimmy Butler (despite currently serving his second team suspension this month and pushing for a trade out of Miami) have also received All-Star consideration this season.
