The Miami Heat have quietly become one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference and are winners of six consecutive games. The Heat will try to make it seven in a row at the expense of a team trailing them in the East standings when they host the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday.

The New York Knicks are stumbling of late and fell for the ninth time in the last 11 games with Friday's 118-108 setback at Minnesota. The Knicks are a much stronger team at home and will try to turn things around when they host the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday.

The Indiana Pacers are winners of three of four since Victor Oladipo returned to the lineup and overcame a 22-point deficit to knock off the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. The Pacers will try to avoid a similar hole when they hit the road for a five-game trip against Western Conference teams beginning at the Phoenix Suns on Sunday.

The Minnesota Timberwolves can finish off a sweep of a five-game homestand and run their home winning streak to eight when they host the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. The Timberwolves' home winning streak is the franchise's longest since 2003-04 and began with a 108-107 win over the Trail Blazers on Dec. 18.
