With two games left, the Miami Heat (36-44) are clawing for positioning in the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament. They currently sit 10th, but wins in their final two games could vault them to eighth or ninth, depending on how the Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks close out their seasons.
The New Orleans Pelicans (21-59) have been decimated by injuries and are out of postseason contention. They’re limping toward the finish line with a 5-game losing streak and just 8 active players dressing in Thursday’s 136-111 blowout loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.
