In a conference that boasts the Milwaukee Bucks, Brooklyn Nets, and their respective superstars, it’s surprising to see the Miami Heat on top of the East.

The Brooklyn Nets went 5-16 in Kevin Durant’s absence. He hasn’t appeared in a game since Jan. 15. While he was away, the team suffered a grueling 11 game slide.
