Miami Heat comes in with the cleaner injury picture, which matters because fewer absences usually mean a steadier rotation and fewer late adjustments. Orlando Magic has more uncertainty around availability, so this game may ask more from its depth and secondary pieces.
The spot also looks a little cleaner for Miami Heat, whether that edge comes from rest, workload, or travel. If Orlando Magic is the team dealing with the tighter turnaround, heavier mileage, or busier recent stretch, that can show up in pace, legs, and late-game execution.
