Great expectation from the Heat
Miami Heat last season was not a favorite to advance to the Playoffs, but when they got there they managed to be very competitive, the decisive duels were the key for the team, in this tournament there should be no mistakes, so it will be a great test for Miami.
Herro in great rhythm
The Miami Heat player could not close the season as expected due to an injury, but in the start of a new season, the player has started a devastating pace improving his numbers in a great way, currently averaging: 26.5 points in 5 games.
What the tournament consists of
The new NBA tournament begins this Friday, five teams in each group, where each team will face each other once, in total four duels, the best team will qualify for the playoffs along with a wild card, then they will begin to eliminate each other until a winner is left.

Background
Last season, the Wizards and Heat faced each other in a four-game series, Miami won the series by winning 3 games. In the end, their seasons went in very different directions, Miami Heat played in the finals and Wizards failed to qualify for the Playoffs, now in this new season both are the bottom of the East and are looking to get on track for the new tournament.
Heat has enough to compete
Miami Heat has had many opportunities in the current stage, to lift the title, unfortunately they have not had the best luck and have fallen in two recent finals, the first against Lakers and the second against Nuggets, the franchise has one of the most competitive squads and will not miss every opportunity to compete, now with the new cup tournament, Miami Heat sees a great opportunity to give joy to their fans, Although the format is different, the team's stars must guide the rest of the team to continue advancing, in the regular season they have not had the best of luck and are located at the bottom of the East, the duel against Wizards is crucial to get the victory, as it would even serve to regain confidence in the regular season, Heat is a great competitor and will surely sneak into the final stages of this new tournament.
Wizards to find motivation in new tournament
Washington Wizards accumulates two consecutive seasons without qualifying for the Playoffs, for this season not only the regular season will be played, a new tournament will be born and certainly Wizards should take advantage of it, currently the team is second to last in the East with a record of 1-3, there are two defeats that accumulates the Washington team and in their group is one of the favorites to lift the NBA title, For Wizards is a great opportunity to give a joy to their fans, their rival is having a very similar season to Washington, here a mistake can be very expensive and that is why it is a very complex tournament, being a new tournament, they can take advantage of it to test players and strategies that in the long run can bring the team more victories.
A new adventure
The NBA presents the In-Season Tournament, a new cup competition that comes to refresh the NBA regular season, a European-style tournament, arrives for this season, with the sole purpose of avoiding the monotony of the league, certainly a tournament that excites, since the modality is different from what is known and this will be useful for future international competitions, a great level is expected during the tournament and that the teams give it the seriousness it deserves.
