NBA Power Rankings: OKC Thunder and peers jockey for position
110. . 36-37. Previous: 15th. Miami Heat. 16. team
With nine games remaining for the Heat many feature top Eastern teams who may be invested in their own battle for seeding (Celtics for example) or teams who may decide to not push too hard given late season injuries sustained against this very team (Raptors lost Fred VanVleet for the entire first round last season and never fully recovered even when he returned).
The Magic conversely will face some of the top squads but have a bit of an easier path than the Heat.
