The New Orleans Pelicans will entertain the Miami Heat in the penultimate round of the 2024/25 NBA regular season. They enter this game with the second-worst record in the Western Conference while the Heat are 10th in the East. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
The Pelicans have lost their last five games and have won just twice in the last 10. Willie Green’s men have been one of the whipping boys this season. They have managed just 21 wins in their 80 outings so far.
Only three other teams have registered a worse return. The Pels, who host their final two games of the season, are coming off a 136-111 loss to the Bucks in Milwaukee.
The Heat are also coming off a loss that dented their postseason seeding. Erik Spoelstra’s men suffered their third loss in the last four fixtures in Chicago against the Bulls.
They now sit one game behind the Bulls and two games from the Hawks in eighth place. As it stands, the Heat will have to play their play-in fixture(s) on the road.
They can still finish as the eighth seed but will hope other results favour them if they manage to win their remaining games. The Heat defeated the Pels in the reverse match 119-108.

They have won seven of their last 10 matches while the Pels lost eight times in the same stretch of fixtures.
As they are fighting to improve their postseason seeding, we expect the Heat to secure a win here. Aside from being out of form and with nothing to play for, the Pelicans are also severely depleted. Seven of the nine players on the injury report are ruled out.
