The Heat is playing a rare set of back-to-back home games this weekend believing it won’t have any of the rotation pieces who sustained injuries in recent weeks.
Coach Erik Spoelstra said Hassan Whiteside and James Johnson will miss both sets of the back-the back --- Friday against Dallas and Saturday against New Orleans – and he doesn’t expect Goran Dragic or Justise Winslow to be available for either game, too.
After this weekend, Whiteside will have missed 13 consecutive games with a bone bruise on his left knee.
