Playoffs? Playoffs? The New Orleans Pelicans earned the 21st seed (no, seriously) and will face the Miami Heat (12th seed) this afternoon at 3:30 PM at the Thomas and Mack Center. That's the larger arena for those keeping up. The game will be televised on NBATV and will also be available on the ESPN app and WatchESPN. If they win, New Orleans will advance to the second round against an absolutely stacked Phoenix Suns roster.
Miami elected not to play Josh Richardson and Justise Winslow in Las Vegas and look for that to continue.
