Will Heat Make NBA Playoffs in New Schedule?

The NBA is moving ahead with its plan to restart the season.

The league's board of governors approved the proposed 22-team format by a 29-to-1 vote.

The Heat and the other 21 teams will play in Orlando without fans.

According to the restart plan the season will include:

"The 14 NBA Lottery teams would be the eight teams that do not participate in the restart and the six teams that participate in the restart but do not qualify for the playoffs. These teams would be seeded in the lottery and assigned odds based on their records through games of March 11. The 16 playoff teams would draft in inverse order of their combined records across regular-season games and seeding games."

The season is expected to resume July 31st, with the Finals in October.
