Thanks to their success against the Miami Heat, the Charlotte Bobcats’ are in a slightly better position to withstand a minor slump.

In a matchup of struggling teams jockeying for position in the Eastern Conference, the Bobcats look to sweep their season series with the Heat on Saturday night.

Charlotte (35-33) and Miami (35-34) are among five teams jockeying for the final four playoff spots in the East. The Bobcats are in sixth place, a half-game ahead of the Heat.

With the regular season winding down, neither team can afford to let their slumps last much longer. Charlotte has lost two of three after winning its previous six, and Miami had won six of seven prior to losing two straight.

The Bobcats, though, already hold the tiebreaker with the Heat, winning the first three meetings this season. Charlotte has held Miami to an average of 71.5 points over the last two contests.

Though they were strong defensively again Friday night, the Bobcats lost 93-92 in overtime to Atlanta.Charlotte will need somebody to step up in the paint to help stop Dwyane Wade’s drives to the basket. He’s averaging 30.9 points, 7.4 assists and 2.2 steals over his last nine games.

Wade’s 36 points and 10 rebounds weren’t enough to help Miami avoid a 108-102 overtime loss to Orlando on Thursday. Wade reached double figures in scoring for the 442nd game, tying Alonzo Mourning’s franchise record.

With Michael Beasley nursing a bruised thigh, Wade has had to be even more aggressive offensively. Beasley has scored 14 points while shooting 28.6 percent in two games after missing the previous two.
