Tyler Herro and the Miami Heat reportedly targeting a return against the Mavericks

The Heat's offense is running the NBA's fastest pace, everyone is involved, and they are currently leading the NBA in points per game.

Nobody expected this from the Heat, especially without Tyler Herro, their All Star from last season.

Herro has missed the beginning of the season due to offseason ankle surgery and is ready to return to action.

The biggest question surrounding Herro's return is whose minutes will he take. The Heat are 11-6 without Herro with wins against the Knicks (2-1), Cavs, and many more that they would have lost last year.

Our writer Brady Hawk has gone in depth on that here and I agree with his take.

"But in a rotation that would now have the shooting of both Herro and Powell on or off the ball, it means that Fontecchio's minutes are less dire. Herro and Powell are going to be staggered a ton whenever he gets back, which means every lineup should have a high level scorer and shooting threat."Brady Hawk

Herro and Powell will likely start together, and like Brady said, they will be staggered across all lineups, enabling the Miami Heat to score whenever and wherever they please, as they have been doing much of the season.

According to basketball reference, the Miami Heat have the third easiest schedule remaining this season and they have endured one of their toughest stretches this season without Tyler Herro.

Whether it is against Dallas or sometime later this week, Tyler Herro's return is eminent, and the NBA's most high-powered offense gets yet another weapon.

When Tyler Herro makes his eventual return, who is the odd man out?
