The Lakers are 22-8 this season and are looking like a team that could repeat as NBA champions this season.
As for Miami, the Heat have struggled after dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak earlier this season.
Miami is just 12-17 this season and is the No. 10 seed in the Eastern Conference.
However, the Lakers are currently the team that is banged up, while Miami is starting to get healthy with Jimmy Butler back in the lineup over the past few weeks.
The Lakers and Heat will tip off at 5:30 p.m. PST on Saturday.
