The Miami Heat (12-17) will try to get their second straight win on their West Coast trip when they face the Los Angeles Lakers (22-8) tonight in a nationally televised game on ABC. The two teams have not played each other since the NBA Finals in the Orlando bubble.
Though the Heat will be without Goran Dragic against the Lakers, just like in the Finals, but they’re catching a major break with Anthony Davis also sitting out. The All-Star big man is expected to be out for roughly 3-4 weeks with an injured right Achilles and last played Feb.
