The short-handed Washington Wizards host the Miami Heat, with these two playing for the first time this season on Sunday.
The Miami Heat try to avoid losing three games in a row when they take on the Washington Wizards on Sunday afternoon. The Heat are also trying to avoid losing four of their last five games and stay above .500. They are 27-26 on the season and hold the eighth seed. The Heat have to keep up the pressure because the Atlanta Hawks are only 1.5 games back, and the Charlotte Hornets are the hottest team in the league, with a franchise-record nine-game winning streak. The good news for Miami is that the Wizards are 14-37 this season, and it was announced that Anthony Davis will not suit up for Washington for the rest of the year as he continues to heal from a hand injury. The Wizards are playing a little better lately after a nine-game losing streak. Since that streak ended on Jan. 27, the Wizards have won four of their last seven games. This is surprisingly the first matchup of the season between these two Eastern Conference teams. Miami is still the big favorite on the road tonight, with an 11.5-point spread in its favor.
