Although the team excels on their home court they still struggle on the road.
Case in point, in February the team played eight of 10 games on the road collecting a 2-6 record including losses to four lottery teams (Kings, Blazers, Hawks, and Cavaliers).
Fortunately, they’ll play only 10 more games on the road including five of their next eight matches.
In the 116-113 win versus Orlando, Duncan Robinson hit nine 3-pointers for 27 points to lead the Heat scoring. Goran Dragic (25), Kelly Olynyk (16), Jimmy Butler (12), and Bam Adebayo (10) provided balanced double-figure scoring.
The two All-Stars on the Heat lead all team categories with Butler topping scoring (20.5) and assists (6.2) while Bam Adebayo tops in rebounding (10.5), steals (1.2), blocks (1.3) and field goal percent (56.5%).
Tyler Herro and Meyers Leonard are both dealing with ankle injuries and are out indefinitely with no projected return date.
New Orleans Pelicans
With 20 games remaining the Pelicans have fallen off the pace to capture a playoff berth trailing the Grizzlies by five games. They’ve lost three games in a row with the most recent an overtime loss to the Mavericks.
Rookie Zion Williamson played in his first back-to-back game and took a while to get rolling. It was also his first time facing fellow rising star Luka Doncic.
The length of the Mavericks caused Williamson some issues as his shot was repeatedly blocked. Once he figured things out he found his way to 21 points which give him double-figure production in all 17 games he’s played.
Brandon Ingram continued to impress as he led all Pelicans scorers with 27 points. Lonzo Ball (25 points, 11 rebounds) and Derrick Favors (10 points, 14 rebounds) both registered double-doubles.
Jrue Holiday (19) and Frank Jackson (14) were the other double-figure scorers.
On the season, Brandon Ingram leads the team in scoring (24.6), rebounds (6.4) and field goal percent (47.1%). Lonzo Ball for assists (7.0), Jrue Holiday for steals (1.1) and Jaxson Hayes tops the block (0.9) category.
Kenrich Williams is dealing with lower back soreness and is listed as questionable for Friday. J.J. Redick will be out until mid-March with a hamstring strain. Darius Miller continues to recover from a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Free Miami Heat vs. New Orleans Pelicans NBA Prediction:
.The Pelicans have likely lost any opportunity to catch the Grizzlies but haven’t given up hope. Meanwhile, the Heat needs to prove they can play the same way on the road as they do at home if they want to be taken seriously as contenders.
The Williamson – Adebayo matchup should be intriguing but stopping Ingram and Butler are the keys for both teams.
