The New Orleans Pelicans will host the Miami Heat at Smoothie King Center on Friday.

The Pelicans (34-22) are coming off a comfortable 127-105 win over the Houston Rockets on Thursday in each team’s first game following the All-Star break. Despite not having Brandon Ingram due to illness, the Pelicans had an impressive outing. CJ McCollum paced the Pelicans with 28 points, while Zion Williamson generated a 27-point, nine-assist outing. Jonas Valanciunas contributed 20 points, 14 boards, three assists and one steal as well. The Pelicans have been on a tear of late and have won four in a row.

Brandon Ingram (ilness) is questionable to play Saturday.

The Heat (30-25) will play their first game following the All-Star break and are set to compete on the road, but recent results have lifted the Heat in the standings. They’re coming off a 109-104 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday, and the win over the Sixers means the Heat have won three of their last four, and five of their last six contests. The Heat will only go as their star duo of Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo can carry it, however, but the good results in recent weeks have been positive for them. Having dealt with injuries all season long, the Heat will aim to be as healthy as possible for the playoffs. If they do, they'll have a good chance to be competitive come postseason time.

Tyler Herro (foot) is questionable to play Saturday. Terry Rozier (knee), Josh Richardson (shoulder) and Dru Smith (is out for the playoffs) won’t see action here, at least for now.
