The Miami Heat, last year’s Eastern Conference Champions, who was in the Play-In Tournament before going on a miraculous run to the NBA Finals, may be starting in the same position in 2024. 

The Heat, who have struggled to find consistency all season long and are currently the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference, are poised to be in the Play-In Tournament for the second consecutive season but do have an opportunity to get into the top six, only a half-game behind the Indiana Pacers for the No. 6 seed in the East. 

Miami is at its healthiest now, and in the mix to avoid the Play-In Tournament, but oddsmakers do believe the team will have to play at least one game to advance into the top eight of the Eastern Conference Playoff race. 

DraftKings Sportsbook lists the Heat as -110 to be in the Play-In Tournament, the team is up a game-and-a-half on the 76ers, who are No. 8 in the East. The two teams play Thursday in Miami in a pivotal game for playoff position. 

While the team may need to win a game (or two) to make the postseason, oddsmakers have made it a near certainty that the team will make the 2024 NBA Playoffs. Check out Miami’s odds below!
