What to Watch for
Farewell, Dwyane Wade!
Saturday evening, fans will witness Wade’s last game in Washington. Going into Friday’s action, the shooting guard is averaging 14.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game this season.
In his 16-year career, he won 3 NBA titles, was named 2006 Finals MVP, appeared in 13 All-Star games, and represented the United States in 2004 and 2008 and he’s 40-12 lifetime against the Wizards.
Now, the 37-year-old going out on his own terms. Whether you loved him or loved to hate him, there’s no denying that Wade has left an indelible impact on the league.
It's a back-to-back game for the Heat
Unlike the Wizards who will have a day to rest before their game on Saturday, the Heat will play the Bucks on Friday night before playing Washington. Hopefully that day of rest will give Washington, who have lost their last three games, an energy boost to start strong.
The Wizards last played against the Heat on January 4, which resulted in a 6-point loss. They’re 1-2 against Miami this season, so a win here to keep things even would only be right.
