The Miami Heat are set to face the in-state and divisional rival Orlando Magic on Saturday. Can they take them down twice in less than a week?
The Miami Heat are back at it on Saturday. They will go up against an extremely familiar foe and on multiple levels.
With their yearly battles against the Orlando Magic being amongst the toughest they face all season for some reason, no matter the records, Saturday night’s game should be no different. As far as the multiple levels, a bit of that was touched on in the immediately prior sentence, but it goes without saying that they share a state.
They also just so happen to be in the same division as each other. What only goes further to magnify this familiarity and at least for this season, as many pro athletes will tell you that “each season is different” and no matter how cliche it sounds, they have played each other multiple times already this season and with the last one occurring less than a week ago.
The Miami Heat may be getting back some of their core pieces, as reports seem to indicate that Kendrick Nunn may be back for this game, although we can’t be sure at the moment. On the other side, the Miami Heat always have to be mindful of Terrence Ross going berserk from deep, because he tends to do that when facing Miami for some reason.
This won’t be an easy game, but it should without a doubt be entertaining. Here is everything else you need to know about this contest.
