In their fourth of five away from home, the Miami Heat (20-18) close their Southern California adventure with the Los Angeles Lakers, who return home after a five-game road trip of their own, on Wednesday night at 10:00 p.m. ET. The game will be nationally-televised on ESPN.
The Heat have won four of their last five, with their lone loss coming by five points to the Denver Nuggets on Dec. 30. Their most recent affair resulted in a 10-point win over the Los Angeles Clippers in Jimmy Butler’s return to the starting lineup on Monday.
