While the Bucks and their host, the Heat, have clinched at least a play-in spot, Milwaukee can potentially finish as high as fourth, while the Miami Heat, who hold the last play-in place in the East, have work to do to get a better ranking in the play-in tournaments.

Miami Heat
The Miami Heat (35-42, tenth in the Eastern Conference) has a seven-game buffer over the Toronto Raptors in eleventh place. They are also three games off the Orlando Magic in seventh and see the last few games of the regular season as an opportunity to get a better play-in spot. The Heat have been in fine form lately, winning six straight games, including a victory over the defending champions Boston Celtics, in Boston, before a surprise loss to the Memphis Grizzlies yesterday. In a close game with the Grizzlies, Ja Morant scored a buzzer-beating 12-foot jump to lift the Grizzlies to a 110-108 victory. Tyler Herro led the Heat with 35 points, Bam Adebayo added 26 points, and Kel'el finished with 13. Miami will be without a slate of players against the Bucks, including Kevin Love, Nikola Jokic, and Andrew Wiggins.

The Milwaukee Bucks (42-34) have recovered from a four-game skid to claim consecutive wins over the Phoenix Suns and the Philadelphia 76ers. The Bucks have clinched at least a play-in spot but will need to negotiate the stretch as they are only three games behind the Indiana Pacers in fourth. The Bucks need to do better than their last ten's 4-6 record. With Damian Lillard still out, Giannis Antetokounmpo became the first player in NBA history to record 35 points, 17 rebounds, and a career-high 20 assists as the Bucks heaped more misery on the slumping Philadelphia 76ers. With the postseason locked in, the Bucks are sweating over the fitness of Lillard, who is averaging 24.9 this season.
