Whether he has been injured, or the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/10\/17\/jalen-brunson-mvp-odds\/\" target=\"_self\">Eastern Conference guard competition<\/a> has just been too deep, for many years, it has seemed that Herro has been on the edge of reaching his first All-Star game. The Tyler Herro All-Star case this year is as strong as ever. He is leading the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/09\/20\/2024-25-nba-betting-preview-miami-heat-win-total-odds\/\" target=\"_self\">Miami Heat<\/a> and achieving career highs in multiple categories.

Herro scored 40 points and had eight assists, five rebounds, and four steals as well. These Tyler Herro stats were on an efficient 51.9% shooting from the field and 58.8% shooting from three.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Herro was the only reason that the Heat had a chance at all. He hit six threes in the fourth and helped push the game to overtime. His ten threes in the game tied a <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.statmuse.com\/nba\/ask\/which-miami-heat-player-has-the-most-threes-in-a-game\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Miami Heat franchise record<\/a> that he has reached one time before. Although the team lost, Herro\u2019s performance had coaches and teammates alike singing his praises.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">TYLER HERRO WAS AN ABSOLUTE BUCKET TONIGHT: <\/p>\n<p>40 points<br \/>5 rebounds <br \/>8 assists<br \/>4 steals<br \/>13\/27 FG<br \/>10\/17 3P<\/p>\n<p> Masterclass performance \ud83d\udd25\ud83e\udea3<\/p>\n<p> <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Y0XuyJCjwg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/Y0XuyJCjwg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Playbook Sports (@PlaybookSN) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PlaybookSN\/status\/1856529631555326094?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">November 13, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bam Adebayo Praises Tyler Herro<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the game, Olympic gold medalist and NBA All-Star <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/sports\/nba\/miami-heat\/article295264319.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bam Adebayo praised Herro\u2019s play<\/a> this season. Adebayo said,<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe\u2019s having a hell of a year. He deserves that All-Star nod.

Adebayo has been the Heat\u2019s most consistent and arguably their best player of the last few seasons. He has reached three All-Star games himself, so his word has weight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Tyler Herro All Star Case<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because the Miami Heat haven\u2019t been playing well, Herro would have to make the All-<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Star team more based on his statistics than team success. That being said, along with the rest of the struggling Eastern Conference, don\u2019t expect the Heat to remain under .500 all season long.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kenny Beecham says Tyler Herro has been the most underrated player this season<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s been their best player on the Heat.
