The Miami Heat are coming off a great win over the Sixers and are 2-0 on a current 5-game home stand. Now, the L.A. Lakers coming into town, this time with Lonzo Ball to play them. At 26-34, the Lakers aren’t really in playoff contention in the West, but are gaining experience for their young team.
After some trades on the deadline, former teammates (for a few games), Dwyane Wade and Isaiah Thomas will play against each other. The Lakers have won three games in a row.
