The Miami Heat will look to secure the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference when they host the Atlanta Hawks at the FTX Arena on the morning of Saturday, April 9.
 
The Heat are in pole position in the East standings, although they face a three-way challenge from the Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers in the final week of the regular season.

Tyler Herro played a starring role from the bench with 35 points in a 144-115 rout of the Charlotte Hornets in Florida on Wednesday.
 
Miami assistant coach Chris Quinn admitted the victory was down to a team effort after Jimmy Butler (27), Bam Adebayo (22) and Duncan Robinson (21) all surpassed the 20-point mark.
 
"The ball was moving, guys were helping each other get shots. It really was a team effort offensively," Quinn said.
 
The Hawks still managed to clinch a spot in the play-in tournament despite losing 118-108 to the Toronto Raptors in Ontario on Wednesday, with Trae Young their best performer after scoring 26 points and providing 15 assists.

Atlanta head coach Nate McMillan admitted his players didn't do enough in the fourth quarter to win the contest after being tied at 102-102.
 
"It comes down to making shots and getting stops, and we didn't do that after being able to tie that game 102-102," McMillan said. "You've got to close, you've got to finish that game."
