"After a disappointing Miami Heat loss to the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night, this Heat team continues to seemingly take one step forward for two steps back. It looked like they were finally starting to turn a corner again during their four-game win streak, highlighted by a signature win against the top seed Detroit Pistons. However, their latest loss snapped their streak and dropped them back to a 19-16 record."
"The Pelicans are currently the 15th and worst seed in the Western Conference at an abysmal 8-28 record. They have lost six of their last 10 games and are dealing with injuries to several key players on their roster. Miami's injury report has not been released yet, but expect Tyler Herro to be sidelined again- along with potentially another pair of key rotation players in Pelle Larsson and Jaime Jaquez Jr."
Miami lost to Minnesota and returned to a pattern of inconsistency after a four-game win streak that included a signature victory over Detroit. The loss ended the streak and moved Miami to a 19-16 record, falling to the eighth seed in the East. Miami hosts New Orleans on the second night of a back-to-back at Kaseya Center. New Orleans sits 8-28 and has multiple injuries. Miami likely will be without Tyler Herro and possibly Pelle Larsson and Jaime Jaquez Jr. Norman Powell was the only Heat 20-point scorer last game, and Bam Adebayo, Andrew Wiggins, and Kel'el Ware must produce offensively.
