Miami Heat

The dates when the Miami Heat face their last two opponents are reportedly set. 

The Heat play host to the Boston Celtics Oct. 27 before a road game the Denver Nuggets Feb. 29 according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. Last year the Heat lost to the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals after defeating the Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals. 

Both games are likely on national television, giving the Heat at least three matchups on major networks. They also play the Philadelphia 76ers on Christmas Day. 

In those matchups, the Heat go against three of the league's top players. The Celtics are led by forward Jayson Tatum while the 76ers feature reigning most valuable player Joel Embiid. The Nuggets are led by Finals MVP Nikola Jokic. 

The rest of the NBA schedule is expected to be released sometime next week.
