What you need to know about the Heat

Miami has won four of its last five games overall and the Heat are 5-1 against the spread in their last six games played on Sunday. In addition, the Heat are 5-1 against the spread in their last six games against an opponent from the Southeast Division. 

What you need to know about the Magic

Meanwhile, Orlando was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap this past Thursday as the Magic fell 110-104 to the New Orleans Pelicans. Orlando's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of point guard Cole Anthony, who dropped a double-double with 22 points and 11 assists along with five rebounds, and power forward Wendell Carter Jr., who posted a double-double with 17 points and 12 boards in addition to three blocks.

The Magic have lost 10 of their 12 games on the road, but they're 4-2 against the spread in their last six meetings against the Heat.
