The Miami Heat return home after a 5-game and 8-day road trip out west they have them at 9-5 on the season. They’ll place a back-to-back home set before hitting the road again. Their opponent tonight is the New Orleans Pelicans (2-13) who have lost 5 straight games.
This matchup may be determined by who plays. The Heat was without Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo in their last matchup but managed a win. And as weird as it seems, the Pelicans with Brandon Ingram could be a tough matchup if Jimmy Butler doesn’t play. Ingram is averaging 25 PPG but he did miss 2+ weeks with an injury before returning earlier this weekend.
