Miami Heat: The Ultimate 10-Game Test… Will Give Them Tons Of Different Looks

In 24 hours from that and something that totally makes sense, Miami will turn around to play the Clippers. Though no Kawhi Leonard, Miami will still have their hands full with Paul George and other guys like Reggie Jackson, a resurgent Eric Bledsoe, and the do-it-all Terance Mann, all looking to help keep them afloat.

This is still an important matchup, because the Clippers will never take the night off. So, with a back-to-back, the Heat are still expected to keep the same energy because the Clippers will and that’s for sure.

This game will also be on NBA TV. The final game is the last matchup with Utah.

It would’ve been nice to play Utah down the line, as the teams get more comfortable and begin to find the correct rotations that will be ran in the postseason.

This game doesn’t even end the road trip though, as they have another game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Miami will probably be running on fumes against Utah and unless they’re running on Big Face Coffee, it’ll be a very tough game for them on both nights against the teams wearing shades of blue.
