Miami Heat vs New Orleans Pelicans Preview

Playing the second and final game of this season series, the Miami Heat and New Orleans Pelicans will face off at Smoothie King Center on Thursday. Their first meeting went the way of the Heat 111-98 on Christmas Day despite Jimmy Butler playing just 16 minutes due to injury. Butler was missing from Miami’s latest 94-80 home loss to Atlanta, which marked the club’s equal-lowest score since January 19, 2016. Butler is questionable to return while Bam Adebayo holds the same status. Their availabilities should be key as Miami looks to extend its four-game winning streak against the Western Conference. Meanwhile, New Orleans will be hoping to bounce back from yesterday’s 128-124 loss to Chicago at this venue.
