The Miami Heat are way more talented than their record suggests. They currently sit in the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 32-29 record.
They are still two games away from the automatic Playoffs spot, which is currently held by the Philadelphia 76ers. Miami wants to maintain good form, so they can qualify without having to go through the gruelling Play-In.
Wiggins wants the Heat to avoid the Play-In Tournament
With the 76ers struggling with injuries and a big suspension, teh Heat could catch them. The Orlando Magic also sit in between them, but they have been quite disappointing. They are also struggling with Franz Wagner's injury.
The Heat have the talent to become one of the teams that can qualify for the Playoffs. However, they will need to go on a winning streak because the Heat have the players. With three All-Star-level players leading the way, they can surprise people.

As one of the veterans on the Heat roster, Wiggins is experienced with making the Playoffs. He even has a championship, similar to first-time All-Star Norman Powell.
To succeed in the postseason, the Heat need to be as comfortable as possible. They can do that by reaching the postseason early on without having to go through the Play-In.
"We're top 5 in offense and defense. We know where we belong and should be but we have to put in the work to get there," Wiggins said after their latest win against the Rockets.
Wiggins brings up a great point there because the Heat have all the numbers in their favor. They only need to secure the wins because they have been letting some results slip by. It will be challenging, but the Heat have enough talent.
