The 2022-23 NBA Schedule was released Wednesday, let’s break it down from the Heat’s perspective, shall we!
First off, the Heat tip-off the 82-game campaign with the Chicago Bulls on Oct. 19, followed by a rematch of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics on Oct. 21 — both home games for Miami.
In fact, Miami will start with four straight at FTX Arena — capped by two back-to-back against the Toronto Raptors — but it will then have its first (brief) west coast trip against the Portland Trail Blazers, reigning champion Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings.
