Warriors vs Heat live online: stats, scores and highlights | Jimmy Butler returns to Miami

NBA standings

Taking a look at the standings in both conferences, we see the Warriors sitting in sixth place in the Western Conference. They are just a game above the LA Clippers in seventh place, occupying the first spot in the Play-In tournament. The Lakers and Grizzlies are two games ahead of the Warriors, but it’s the Lakers who are holding on to the 4th spot in the West, which would give them home court advantage for the first round of the payoffs. They are 4.5 games behind the second placed Rockets, so if they get hot, they could have an outside shot at second in the West, but they have to basically win out and hope for some help. The Heat, however are in a world of hurt. They are in 10th place, hanging on to the final Play in spot in the East. While they have a five game cushion on the Raptors in 11th, if they stay in 10th until he end of the regular season they are going to have win two games on the road just to get into the playoffs.
