In the NBA, the Miami Heat (36-38; No. 18 in Dunkel's power rankings) is trying to get Dwyane Wade one more trip to the postseason before he retires. But their chances took a severe hit on Tuesday when they blew a 17-point lead at home and lost to Orlando, 104-99, to fall a half-game behind the Magic for the final playoff spot in the East. The Heat will be back at home tonight and looking for a better outcome against a Dallas Mavericks team (29-45; No. 25) that is just 7-30 on the road this year.

On the ice, the Montreal Canadiens (41-28-8; No. 16 in Dunkel's power rankings) are getting hot at the right time as they pursue Carolina for the top wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Canadiens are 4-0-1 in their last five contests and are coming off a 6-1 win over Florida as they head to Columbus tonight. But the Blue Jackets (42-30-4; No. 15) are also on a roll and come into the contest with a four-game home winning streak. To get Dunkel's pick for this game and the full NHL schedule, click HERE.
