Following the NBA All-Star break, the Miami Heat resume the season with a game in Toronto against the Raptors (7:30 p.m. on Friday, FanDuel Sports Net – Sun).
The Heat (25-28) are in ninth place in the Eastern Conference as the season resumes. If the season ended today, the Heat would have to win their way into the playoffs via the play-in tournament as they did the last two seasons.
Miami will have a different look than in the first half of the season after trading away disgruntled forward Jimmy Butler and adding Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Anderson and Davion Mitchell.
