The Heat come into the night with a 20-19 record in 39 games, which has them as the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. 

They are 6-4 in their last ten games and 8-11 in the 19 games they have played on the road away from Miami, Florida. 

Meanwhile, the Suns are tied with the Golden State Warriors and Portland Trail Blazers for the seventh seed in the Western Conference. 

After a hot start to the season, they have gone cold and are in a slump. 

The Suns are 20-19 in 39 games but are currently in the middle of a four-game losing streak. 

In addition, they have gone just 3-7 in their last ten games.

However, the Suns are an excellent team at home, with a 14-5 record in the 19 games they have hosted in Phoenix, Arizona.
