The Miami Heat are looking to climb to the top in the Eastern Conference. Although not the maximums, they are favorites to the champion ring in this 2021/22 NBA season. And honoring that, today, December 26, they will seek to reach third place in the Eastern Conference (they are only 1 victory away from it) against a team that this season has been one of the worst.
On the visitor’s side, it would seem that this is a tanking season for them: in 33 games they have barely achieved 7 victories, just two more than the worst team in the entire NBA, the Detroit Pistons. It is more than clear that the objective of the Florida franchise will not be to reach the playoffs but to strengthen its squad through the next Draft in 2022.

Miami Heat vs Orlando Magic: Storylines
The game played by the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat today, December 26 at 3:30 (ET) will be the third that the two rivals play between them in this 2021/22 NBA season. They were pre-produced on October 25 and December 17, both with the Heat winning 107-90 the first and 115-105 the second.
This third game that the two play will undoubtedly feature the Miami Heat, who seeks to get closer to the top of the Eastern Conference (it is only one victory behind the Milwaukee Bucks), while on the side of the Orlando Magic, this does not seem to be more than a season of tanking for them so it would be difficult to see them go for the victory against a team much superior to them.
