Heat beat writer Ira Winderman tweeted that Dwyane Wade, Jermaine O'Neal, and Udonis Haslem will likely miss Wednesday's season finale against New Jersey.
If the Heat lose and the Bucks win, Miami will avoid the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs by slipping to the sixth seed. The Hawks may actually be the better team but it looks like the Heat prefer a trip to Atlanta over Boston.

Andrei Kirilenko did some workouts on Tuesday but sounds highly doubtful for Wednesday's season finale against Phoenix.
"Believe me, I'll try to get as much as possible, you know, workout, and make it ready. But it's not ready yet," said Kirilenko. Consider him out for Wednesday's contest.

With the Celtics locked into the fourth seed in the east, Coach Doc Rivers is expected to rest his starters on Wednesday against the Bucks.
"We are an older team. I think rest is important. We have to be as fresh as possible," said Rivers. We should have more information after shootaround but all five starters could sit out. If they do play, expect very limited minutes.

Shaquille O'Neal is expected to be in the starting lineup against Atlanta on Wednesday.
Shaq went through everything today. He looked good for being off as long as he has," said coach Mike Brown. His minutes will still be limited to around 20 so he shouldn't be too productive in his first game back.

Kevin Durant and the rest of the Thunder starters (except Nenad Krstic, who is out with a knee injury) will play against the Grizzlies in the regular season finale.
The Thunder's playoff seed is already set, but Scott Brooks is still planning to give his starters minutes. "It?s important that we continue to work on what we have to do to get better," he said. "Most of our guys want to play. That?s who they are. They love playing basketball." This is obviously great news for Durant, Jeff Green and Russell Westbrook. Though Krstic will sit, he's expected to be ready for the Thunder's playoff opener against the Lakers.

No LeBron, No Shaq tonight against Hawks. Everyone else likely to play. Mike Brown said he "wasn't close" to playing Shaq.

First 2 games Sunday-Wednesday?
-- The Charlotte Bobcats are hearing VERY TENTATIVELY that the first game of their playoff series would be Sunday in Orlando, with Game 2 on Wednesday. All that could change completely between now and when the playoff schedule comes out, probably after midnight tonight. However, that's the initial indication the team is hearing.
A Sunday-Wednesday schedule would make some sense in this regard: Orlando's arena is not available Monday due to a previously scheduled concert and Time Warner Cable Arena is not available next Thursday, also due to a concert date.
A fair guess if Games 1 and 2 are Sunday-Wednesday: Games 3 and 4 in Charlotte might be next Friday and either the following Sunday or Monday.
-- Coach Larry Brown continues to say he'll play tonight's last regular-season game for keeps because the Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors are still competing for the last playoff spot in the East. Brown said anyone who is healthy enough to play, would, although he reserved the right to manage injuries to Tyrus Thomas, Stephen Jackson and Gerald Wallace.
Injury-wise, Brown said he's most concerned about Thomas (dislocated right thumb) heading into the playoffs.
-- Don't be surprised if center Nazr Mohammed plays a lot tonight. Brown said at shootaround this morning that Mohammed got out of game shape in that month he missed with back spasms and Brown needs Mohammed against Orlando center Dwight Howard.
