It’s a matchup of two Floridian teams trending in completely opposite directions.
While the surging Heat are making their climb up the Eastern Conference standings, the sinking Magic continue to creep closer to the bottom of the league.
Orlando has dropped seven straight games, giving them the fourth worst record in the league at 13-25. Miami has won nine of their last 10, giving them a winning record for the first time all season and placing them fourth in the East.
The two teams meet for the second time in four days, with the Magic likely to be even more shorthanded and out of position than they were the first time.
