How to Watch Heat at Bulls: Stream NBA Play-In Tournament Live, TV Channel

As the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls face-off Wednesday, one team will have its season end and the other will advance to compete for a spot in the playoffs. 

The NBA Play-In Tournament is officially here, as the Chicago Bulls are set to host the Miami Heat in an elimination game on Wednesday. Both of these squads hope to be the surprise team to make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference, but only one will have a chance to do so. 

The team that loses tonight will officially enter the offseason and this will be their last game of the season. Meanwhile, the winner will advance in the Play-In Tournament for a shot at the No. 8 seed in the East. Neither team put together a dominant season, but the talent that will take the floor tonight is still impressive.

The offensive firepower on these two rosters is quite impressive, so this could be a high-scoring affair. Keep an eye on Chicago’s Josh Giddey in this game, as he has proven to put together quality Play-In Tournament performances in the past. Tyler Herro will be the primary difference maker for Miami, as he is capable of scoring points in a hurry and can take over a game offensively. It’s an even battle tonight, so it could go either way.

Following this contest, the winner of this game will play again on Friday night in yet another elimination game against the Atlanta Hawks. The winner of that game will advance to the playoffs as the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference with a battle against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round.
