Miami Heat

At one point, the Boston Celtics appeared they were going to run away with the Eastern Conference. 

Lately, they have hit a few bumps after losing six of their last 10 games, including three straight. After Wednesday's loss to the Indiana Pacers, MVP candidate Jayson Tatum gave his thoughts on the state of the team. 

"We gotta learn how to win again," Tatum said. "I think it’s not as simple as that, but we have to get back to having fun. I think we are playing a little timid, a little tight. Basketball is supposed to be fun, it’s supposed to be loose."

If the mighty Celtics can hit rough patches, it should bode well for the Miami Heat. The Heat have dealt with inconsistency all season, sitting at 16-16 entering Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. 

The Pacers just so happen to be the team that defeated the Celtics Wednesday. It is the Heat's first chance to rebound after having their four-game winning streak snapped Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls.
