The Miami Heat are currently positioned to likely secure the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference but still aim for the 9th seed and home-court advantage by winning their final two games. They face the struggling New Orleans Pelicans, who have suffered a disappointing season and are missing key players. Despite this, Miami must overcome their own inconsistencies, with Tyler Herro, who has been performing well, aiming to redeem himself after a controversial late-game decision in their last match. Injuries may also impact the team's dynamics as they head into the crucial matchup.
Tyler Herro, fresh off another 30-point performance, will look to make up for his end of regulation blunder in the previous game against the Chicago Bulls.
Herro, reflecting on his decision to take a 3-point shot instead of an open layup, stated, 'I believe I can make that shot and I believe in myself. Imma live and die by that.'
The Heat will essentially be facing the Pelicans' second and third stringers, but their inconsistencies have proven that there is no such thing as an easy win.
Miami's path to improve their seeding hinges on winning their next two games and getting some luck with the opposing teams.
