The Miami Heat fell three places to No. 12 in Week 16 of ESPN's NBA Power Rankings. They're one game behind the Atlanta Hawks and will come out of the All-Star break visiting the Atlantic Division leaders on Friday night.
Marc Stein details the many questions surrounding the team with the trade deadline two days away:
"The Heat got through that brutal stretch of schedule in which they were forced to play 14 of 16 games with a passable mark of 8-8. But so many questions still loom ... about Chris Bosh's health, about the way Dwyane Wade and Goran Dragic mesh in the Miami backcourt and, of course, about what to do with the Hassan Whiteside conundrum.
