The Miami Heat (35-20) are wrapping up a 6-game road trip when they visit the New Orleans Pelicans (22-32) on Thursday night. This will be the Heat’s last western conference road game of the season.
The Pelicans started the season 1-12, but have responded and are in search of a play-in spot for the playoffs. They’ve won 4 games in a row and just acquired CJ McCollum who will make his debut tonight. The Heat have won three in a row and after this game will play 15 of their next 20 games at home.
