Things may not be exactly looking up for the Miami Heat, but with the easiest remaining schedule in the league, there's reason for optimism heading into the remainder of the season.
Short of a big NBA Trade Deadline move, the Heat are unlikely to make the leap toward contender status, but with an easy schedule in the second half of the year, Miami is within striking distance of breaking out of a Play-In spot in the East.
With 38 games left in their schedule, the Heat's opponents have a combined .463 winning percentage. That's the easiest in the league.
