" Really disappointed has to be a understatement there, because the Hornets were downright awful on Sunday night. It was a season-low scoring effort from the Hornets, and they'll have to forget about it.

For the Heat, this is a game that they're supposed to win, so there's much at stake here. Avoiding a loss here is key, because it will raise red flags about this team.

Jack leads the active players on the team in scoring as well as assists. He's currently averaging 16 points and seven assists for New Orleans, and the Hornets will need him to be just as good as that, if not better, against Miami.

The Wizards beat the Cavs and then the Lakers, but have since lost three straight games, including a blowout defeat at Golden State on Sunday night.
Miami Player to Watch Mike Ehrmann/Getty ImagesAfter dropping 35 points against the Bulls, LeBron is definitely the player to watch Monday night. Chicago is a much better team than New Orleans, so one would expect LeBron to perform even better. There's a chance he takes it easier in this game because the level of talent isn't as great as Chicago, but then again, he could just continue his dominance. LeBron has scored more than 30 points in each of his last three games, so look for him to keep that streak going. Key Matchup The Hornets have to find a way to slow down LeBron. By doing that, it will force other players to step up, which everybody knows they can.

The Wizards should still get to 47 wins, assuming they win at least one of their final five. That would give them their best record since 1978-79.

The Wizards have to win four of their last five games to reach 50 and three of their last five are on the road. Now, working in their favor is that all of their remaining opponents are currently under the. 500 mark.
