24. Miami Heat

In Dwyane Wade‘s last season with the Miami Heat, most fans are probably hoping that the team can reach the NBA Playoffs and give Wade one last dance in the postseason.

Well, they might get their wish as the Heat have had a solid season so far and are eighth in the Eastern Conference. The Heat have been led by Josh Richardson who is scoring a career-high 17.6 points per game.

The emergence of Justice Winslow has helped push the Heat to where they are now. Winslow had a strong 16 game stretch in the middle of the season where he put up 15.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5 assists per game.

Despite this, the Heat have faltered in their recent games. Miami has lost 12 of their last 19 games and it looks like they might be choosing to tank rather than compete for a playoff spot.
