Despite Butler's absence, the Heat will look for collective efforts from Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo to advance to face the Boston Celtics in the playoffs. The Bulls, led by Coby White's career-high 42 points in their last game, are ready for a competitive matchup after splitting their season series with Miami. Both teams will be missing key players due to injuries, setting the stage for an intense game as they fight for a spot in the postseason.
New Orleans Pelicans 105 - 98 Sacramento Kings
Zion Williamson will be out for the crucial play-in game between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Sacramento Kings as he recovers from a left hamstring injury, despite putting up impressive numbers in their last game. The Kings have lost all five regular-season matchups against the Pelicans, with sharpshooter Keegan Murray stepping up in their recent win over the Golden State Warriors. Sacramento will need to find a way to finally defeat New Orleans to secure a spot in the playoffs, while dealing with injuries to Kevin Huerter and Malik Monk. Both teams are determined to come out on top in this high-stakes game where the winner will face the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round.
