GAME PREVIEW: Heat return home to face Grizzlies, seek third-straight win
"At 30-27, the Heat are just one game back of the No. 6 seed in the East, possessed by the Philadelphia 76ers. They do not own the tiebreaker over the Orlando Magic, who is a 0.5 game above them in the East as the No. 7 seed. If the Heat can build a hot streak, there's a world where they end the season as a top-6 seed."
"Miami lit the nylon on fire in its first meeting of the season against Memphis, pouring on 146 points en route to a 32-point win. Will it sweep the season series? Let us know in the comments!

Miami Heat entered the final 26-game stretch after the All-Star break with momentum, following a decisive win over the Atlanta Hawks. Miami returns home to face the Memphis Grizzlies on the second night of a back-to-back. The Heat sit at 30-27, one game behind the No. 6 seed and without the tiebreaker over the Orlando Magic. A sustained hot streak could lift Miami into a top-six finish, but inconsistency has plagued the team all season. Saturday offers a chance for the Heat's first three-game win streak in nearly two months against an injury-depleted Grizzlies. The teams split an earlier meeting, with Miami scoring 146 points in a 32-point victory.
