"The Heat are coming off an ugly 127-110 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, who more than doubled the Heat up from 3-point range (20-9). Portland was led by Shaedon Sharpe's 27 points, outscoring the Heat in the second half, 63-47. Miami is 1-2 on its current road trip, with its lone win coming in Sacramento earlier this week. The Jazz, meanwhile, are losers of four of their last five, including a 126-109 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in their most recent affair."
"Utah is currently 15-30, four games back of the Dallas Mavericks for the No. 12 seed and 5.5 games back of the Los Angeles Clippers for the fourth-and-final play-in spot. It is two wins away from matching last year's win total (17). Keyonte George is blossoming into a legitimate star, averaging 24.4 points, 6.7 assists and 1.1 steals on 45.9 percent shooting, 38.3 percent from 3-point range and 90.4 percent from the free-throw line."
