This game is basically an exhibition game, and the Heat have nothing to gain here except rest. The Heat will likely sit all their top players, as they have done down the stretch after locking up the No. 1 seed in the East. The faster this game can be over, the better the Heat will like it, as the only thing they want to do is avoid an injury. Orlando has had a horrible season. They have won just 20 games, and would like nothing better than to close the door with a win for at least one feel good before the basketballs are tucked away for the summer. While the Heat have won six straight, that isn't on their minds here. I expect a game played really quickly in terms of limited fouling, and shots taken deep into the shot clock. Orlando has more to gain here as Miami just goes through the motions without their top players. A close one where the points serve value, and a low-scoring affair without many sharpshooters on the floor. Take Orlando and the UNDER.
