The Heat are still just one game out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the L-East, but would they now be better served by trying to get into the draft lottery?
Luol Deng will have an MRI on his left knee on Monday and there is some belief that his season could be over.
The Heat are now a full game behind the Celtics for the No. 8 seed and they may start shifting their focus to the upcoming draft lottery. Deng hasn't looked right for quite some time and is reportedly dealing with a lot of swelling and lingering pain. Deng's owners should stand pat until we get the results of the MRI on Monday, but this certainly doesn't sound good.
