The Miami Heat finish their brief preseason home stand against a solid Washington Wizards team, which will fight the Heat for a top-4 playoff spot during the regular season. New additions for the Wizards include Jodie Meeks, Carrick Felix, Donald Sloan, Mike Scott, and Florida forward Devin Robinson as a two-way contract. While Markieff Morris (sports hernia), Tim Frazier (groin) and Robinson (foot) won’t be available for action. The Wizards come into this with a record of 3-0 in their preseason games.
Coming off a resurgent effort on offense, but a disappointing effort on defense, coach Erik Spoelstra faces extremely tough choices to make on the fringes of the roster in the next two games.
