What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Heat lead 66-50 at the half. Pretty disappointing, especially defensively, considering the Raptors’ relative health.
RJ and Bam both have 14. – 9:06 PM

30 different players have appeared in a game for the Raptors this season (3rd-most in the NBA and the most in franchise history). Only 5 of them have a positive net rating.
Name them (No cheating!) – 8:22 PM

Per source, Oregon’s Jackson Powers-Johnson is among the players the Dolphins are summoning to team headquarters for a ’30’ visit. Miami is very much intrigued by last year’s Rimington Trophy winner (the award given to the nation’s top center). – 7:02 PM

Magic-76ers will be interesting from Heat perspective tonight:
-If Magic loses and Heat wins, Heat’s slim chances of avoiding play-in remain alive.
-If 76ers lose and Heat wins, Heat will be locked into play-in but will move up to No. 7 in position to host first play-in game. – 6:37 PM

#Magic #76ers is without a doubt the single biggest regular season game left in determining who the #Celtics‘ 1R opponent will be.
5/6 seed / Orlando/Indiana / — GB
7 seed / Philadelphia / 1.0 GB (Own ORL tiebreaker, do not own IND tiebreaker)
8 seed / Miami / 2.0 GB – 5:45 PM

The night my two worlds collide.
Coming into tonight’s game Toronto and Miami are tied in the current season series 1-1.
It wouldn’t be a cake walk for either team tonight.
Which team prevails tonight? – 4:30 PM

With the East play-in all but locked, Miami remains the most likely first round opponent for the Celtics.
The Heat would get the tie-breaker with the Sixers and home court in the 7-8 game if they can gain a game on them this weekend. pic.twitter.com/wpPA9XUxJK – 4:15 PM
