Can the Miami Heat get lucky on the second night of a back to back

The Miami Heat have a tough second leg of a back to back to deal with Tuesday. Welcoming the Boston Celtics into American Airlines Arena, can they overcome?

The Miami Heat have a tough second leg of a back to back set to try and finish off on Tuesday night. With the aura of the legacy of Kobe Bryant hovering over the NBA, the broadcasting of the games, and the many moving parts of people associated with fluidly executing all of those elements, things have been a bit difficult to accomplish with so many grieving and hurting over the loss.

In that same light, the Miami Heat’s game that was scheduled for 7:30 on Tuesday evening has now been pushed back to 8:00. This comes on the heels of the NBA deciding to postpone a game that was scheduled for Tuesday night after the Heat’s game between the Lakers and Clippers of L.A., and understandably so.

Regardless of all the feelings, emotions, and grief circling around them and the league though, the Heat have a job to do. They haven’t played well on the second nights of back to backs thus far this season, but they have been amazing at home thus far, only losing two games there all season. Which trend will be bucked on Tuesday?

The Heat haven’t been at full health over the past two games, although it didn’t really show much against the Clippers on last Friday and not at all in the dismantling of the Orlando Magic on Monday. The Boston Celtics may be without Jayson Tatum, but that is still up in the air at the moment. Here is everything else you need to know about this game.
