Pregame notes

An opportunity for the Wizards— The Wizards were fortunate to match-up against the Heat last week when Miami was completely decimated by injuries. Kyle Lowry (who played over 50 minutes!) and Max Strus played along with 5 undrafted guys. And, Miami nearly won. Miami will most likely get better and healthier later in the season. Now, the Wizards are very fortunate to meet the Heat twice again while it is still missing many of its key players.

Heat will look for revenge — Surely, the Heat players remember that unfortunate evening in DC where they led by 5 with a minute left in regulation, and somehow managed to lose the game in OT.
