The NBA’s play-in tournament wraps up Friday, April 14, with a pair of elimination games, including the Chicago Bulls at the Miami Heat for the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference. The game will be live streamed on Sling, which offers half off the first month, and on DirecTV Stream (free trial).

“We’ve had a lot of ups and downs this season,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “Nothing about this season has been easy.”

Chicago has already won a road game to stay alive to become one of the first No. 10 seeds to win on the road in the three-year history of the play-in tournament — and if they do it again Friday, they’re going to the postseason.

“We know going there, it’s another great road test against a team that’s seasoned and is coming off a loss and will look to rebound and play to their identity and their style,” Bulls coach Billy Donovan said. “We have a lot to get ready for.”

The Bulls were 3-0 against Miami in the regular season.

The winner plays Milwaukee in Game 1 on Sunday, while the loser’s season is over.

Miami is trying to avoid becoming the first team to go 0-2 at home in a play-in tournament. Chicago had the NBA’s best scoring defense after the All-Star break, and Miami had the NBA’s lowest scoring offense all season.

The matchup pits Heat guard Kyle Lowry against Bulls guard DeMar DeRozan, longtime teammates and backcourt standouts in Toronto. Other ties that bind: Heat star Jimmy Butler faces his former team, Heat forward Udonis Haslem facing his college coach in Donovan, and Bulls guard Patrick Beverley facing a team that he nearly made back during Miami’s Big 3 era in the early 2010s; he was an end-of-camp cut.

When is Bulls-Heat?

The Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat play in an NBA play-in game at 6 p.m. (7 p.m. ET) on Friday, April 14.
