The Miami Heat have a challenging week ahead of them, but it is one they will embrace.
Over their next four games, the Heat will play the Chicago Bulls, Milwaukee Bucks, Brooklyn Nets, and Philadelphia 76ers — pretty much every major team that could stand in their way of winning the East.
The Heat are 40-21 and at the top of the East with all of them looking up.
But...not all of these games will be equal. The Nets will be without Kyrie Irving (vaccine mandate), but possibly the return of Kevin Durant.
