The Miami Heat (39-32) visit the Detroit Pistons (20-51) tonight with several players sitting out for both teams.

With the New York Knicks beating the Boston Celtics, the only suspense left is whether the Heat — now locked in as the No. 6 seed — will face the Milwaukee Bucks as expected or the Brooklyn Nets in the first round.
