"The Heat are in prime position to move up the standings and create some separation heading into the All-Star break. They have two more against the Bulls followed by games against Atlanta, Boston, Washington, Utah and New Orleans. They are 2.5 games behind the Toronto Raptors and Cleveland Cavaliers for the No. 4 seed in the East, and if they can build some momentum ahead of the break, they could solidify themselves as a top-6 seed as we enter this final stretch."
