KEY GAME INFORMATION
MIAMI: LAST SEASON: 44-38, lost in Eastern Conference first round.
COACH: Erik Spoelstra (11th season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Goran Dragic (17.3 ppg), G Tyler Johnson (11.7 ppg), F Josh Richardson (12.9 ppg), F Kelly Olynyk (11.5 ppg), C Hassan Whiteside (14.0 ppg).
KEY LOSSES: None
KEY ADDITIONS: None
PLAYERS TO WATCH: It's the final season for Dwyane Wade, who is still going to be a vital piece of the puzzle if Miami is going to have success this season. Whiteside needs to return to past form, after a frustrating 2017-18 season where he was dogged by injuries.
OUTLOOK: The Heat brought back virtually the same team, with the exception of some new players on two-way deals. It speaks to a few things ' how they didn't have much financial flexibility this summer with so many players under long-term contracts, but also a belief that if healthy Miami can compete in an East that no longer has LeBron James. That being said, the health concerns are already evident in how Dion Waiters won't be ready to return for several more weeks while he continues rehabbing his surgically repaired ankle and James Johnson missed the preseason while recovering from hernia surgery.
NEW ORLEANS: LAST SEASON: 48-34, lost in Western Conference semifinals.
COACH: Alvin Gentry (fourth season, 16th NBA season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Elfrid Payton (12.7 ppg, Orlando/Phoenix), G Jrue Holiday (19 ppg), F E'Twaun Moore (12.5 ppg), F Anthony Davis, (28.1 ppg), C Julius Randle (16.1 ppg, Lakers).
KEY LOSSES: C-F DeMarcus Cousins, G Rajon Rondo
KEY ADDITIONS: Randle, Payton
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Davis and Holiday played the best basketball of their careers last season and provide the Pelicans hope of returning to the playoffs. Davis has continued working on building his physique and strength with the expectation that he might have to play more at center now the Cousins is out of the picture. Davis also says his goal is to prove he is the most dominant player in the NBA. Holiday thrived last season when he was able to play more at shooting guard, allowing him to focus more on scoring and crunch-time defending than setting up the offense. The acquisition of Payton should allow Holiday to resume that role.
OUTLOOK: While it's hard to replace Cousins and Rondo, general manager Dell Demps is hoping Randle and Payton wind up being better fits because of their relative youth, defensive play and ability to thrive in an up-tempo offense. Gentry has said he wants the Pelicans to play even faster than their NBA-leading pace last season. It just might work. New Orleans' top three front court players 'Davis, Randle and Nikola Mirotic' all have shown they can be effective playing that way.
PREVIEW
Heat close out long road trip against Pelicans
 

The Miami Heat are concluding a lengthy road trip. The New Orleans Pelicans are about to embark on one.

But first, the teams meet Sunday as the Heat wrap up a six-game road trip and the Pelicans conclude a two-game homestand before hitting the road for four games in eight days.

Miami has been up and down during its trip, but it's on an up note. The Heat won the first two games on the trip -- at the Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Clippers -- then lost at the Los Angeles Lakers and suffered a season-worst 111-84 loss at Utah in which they trailed by as many as 42 points on Wednesday.

But they bounced back with a 100-97 victory at Memphis on Friday night, outrebounding the Grizzlies 50-34 and holding them to 42 percent shooting.

"There's probably a lot of people out there that looked at this game and said, 'Oh boy, that's ugly,'" Heat coach Erik Spoelstra told the Miami Herald. "And then there's the traditionalist that saw it and saw some beauty and teams really competing defensively."

The Heat welcomed back starting center Hassan Whiteside on Friday after a four-game absence for the birth of his first child. Whiteside had six points and seven rebounds in 22 minutes.

"It's great to have him back," Spoelstra told the Herald. "The locker room was excited to have him back. Even in the minutes he gave us tonight, (they were) really impactful."

Miami is guaranteed at least a split on the trip, but it's hoping for more against a Pelicans team that's coming off a 118-114 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, which continued a nine-game stretch in which New Orleans has alternated wins and losses.

"It's just big for us to bounce back coming back off that loss in Utah, and a tough one in L.A., to get this one," Miami's Kelly Olynyk told the Herald. "Now we're going to New Orleans to get another win. We've had a solid trip up to now. (There) wouldn't be a better way to end it than to get one more."

The Pelicans should be well-rested after having three days between games. It was the first time they had more than one day between games in five weeks. Additionally, New Orleans and the Toronto Raptors were the first two NBA teams to reach 30 games played when they did so Wednesday.

"We needed it," forward Julius Randle said of the break.

Pelicans forward Anthony Davis has scored more than 40 points in each of his last two games, getting a season-high 44 points and grabbing 18 rebounds against the Thunder. He had 41 points in a 113-100 loss on Monday at Boston.

Davis played 40 minutes and guard Jrue Holiday 34. Coach Alvin Gentry said before Wednesday's game that he planned to start reducing the minutes for Davis and Holiday, who are playing the most and second-most minutes in the NBA (36-plus each). But he added that he's not going to sacrifice opportunities to win games in order to cut back on their minutes.

"If that's what we've got to do to win games, then that's what we've got to do," Gentry said. "We're going to rest them when we can, but we've got to try and win some games."

Forward E'Twaun Moore, who has missed the last two games because of a calf strain, practiced Saturday and is hopeful of playing Sunday. Forward Nikola Mirotic, who missed the last game and the second-half against the Celtics after aggravating an ankle injury in the first half in Boston, is unlikely to play.

Sunday is the Pelicans' only game during a six-day stretch. Their road trip begins Wednesday in Milwaukee and also has them facing the Lakers, Sacramento Kings and Dallas Mavericks.
