Play In Day 2
Heat vs Bulls - This will be the 2nd time that they have played in seven days, with the Bulls winning the last matchup 119-111. Since then, the Bulls are yet to lose. They have rested the majority of their starters in their last two games of the season after they basically clinched a home play-in game against the Heat when they beat them 7 days ago. This has been a good Bulls team towards the end of the season, but we will see how the Bulls plan on beating the same team twice in a week's span. I believe this game comes down to one factor: Is Josh Giddey hitting his jump shots or not? For Miami, they need to run their offense through Hero and not through Bam for this game to get their best chance to win. But if Miami is going to win, Wiggins has to be an X-factor on both sides of the ball.
Mavs vs Kings - The Mavs hosted a closed-door interview session where Nico Harrison answered questions from handpicked reporters. That means that the Kings will probably win and cover this game because there is no reason to do that as a franchise unless you know that your season is already over. The old Bulls duo has a shot to make the playoffs if they win this game because they are playing a Memphis team that has Ja Morant who is hurt, and once you get into the playoffs, anything can happen. I expect the Kings to come out in this game and handle business.
