"Miami's two-game road trip resulted in losses to the Dallas Mavericks and Orlando Magic, respectively. It is now 4-7 on the road this season and 14-9 overall. In the Heat's one-point loss to the Magic Friday night, Norman Powell led the way with 28 points on 9-of-18 shooting, while Bam Adebayo had 24 points on 9-of-15 with a game-high 15 rebounds, two steals and two blocks."
"Meanwhile, Sacramento's struggled mightily to begin the 2025-26 season. It was expected to be one of the worst teams in the West, but they've performed even worse than expected, depending on who you ask. They got crushed in their most recent affair against the Houston Rockets, 121-95, led by 25 points apiece from rookie big Maxime Raynaud and Malik Monk off the bench. No other players scored more than 12 points."
