It appears that the Miami Heat are likely to make at least the play-in, with a chance to get in the playoffs. Or, with a good run, they could make the playoffs outright. With that in mind, Ethan Skolnick and Alex Toledo discuss which matchup (Detroit, New York, Boston, Cleveland) would be most, and least, daunting.
