Miami Heat: 51-31
In the last 13 games, the Miami Heat have a record of 10-3, with the most impressive wins against the Magic, Bucks, and Kings. This is the time when the Heat normally ramp up their production to prepare for the playoffs. I predict that the Miami Heat will win 17 games for the remainder of the season. The team has a very easy schedule, and I expect them to go on a huge winning streak.

Orlando Magic: 50-32
Like the Miami Heat, the Orlando Magic have an 8-2 record in the last ten games. The Magic have been rolling lately and have been an underrated team in the league. I don’t see the Magic slowing down anytime soon, and I have them winning 15 games for the remainder of the season.

Atlanta Hawks: 36-46
The Trae Young injury really affected the whole Hawks' season. Currently, the Hawks are on a two-game losing streak, and I don’t have them winning many games anymore. I predict that the Hawks will win ten more games for the remainder of the season. The Hawks have a tough remaining schedule, and I don’t see them making the Play-In Tournament.

Charlotte Hornets: 19-63
The Hornets aren't looking to win many games, with Lamelo Ball still sidelined due to an ankle injury. I predict that the Hornets will win four more games for the remainder of the season. The organization is heading in the right direction and is very fun to watch. Even though they are fun, I don’t see that translating to wins.

Washington Wizards: 11-71
The Washington Wizards are on a 14-game losing streak, and I would be shocked if they win a game for the rest of the season. I will give them the benefit of the doubt and predict they will win two games for the rest of the season. The Wizards have been awful this season, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.
