The Lakers will be looking to take advantage of a Timberwolves team that just lost a player to injury and has turmoil in the squad.
The Heat won the season series 3-1 and will be in front of their home crowd, so the Hawks will need to be at their best.
The Timberwolves move into the eighth seed with a win, but if the Pelicans get the W, they can jump as high as sixth.
The Mavericks need a win to keep their slim play-in hopes alive, and may get some help from a Bulls squad that is likely to rest its key starters.
The 10th-seeded Thunder are in a must-win, while the 12th place Jazz are looking to stay alive.
The Clippers have won 10 in a row against their LA neighbors, but this version of the Lakers is on a big win streak of their own.
