About the Heat: The Heat has yet to win on the second night of a back-to-back set, so far 0-4 this season. The Heat had won 11 in a row from the Wizards before falling 84-75 Nov. 30 at home to Washington. The Heat closed that loss with a nine-point fourth quarter, with no one besides forward LaPhonso Ellis (24) going for more than 13 points. Center Alonzo Mourning was limited to a season-low four points in the loss, often against one-on-one coverage from power forward Christian Laettner. The Heat has won six in a row in Washington. Center Ernest Brown (thumb) and forwards Malik Allen (knee) and Kendall Gill (finger) are on the injured list.

About the Wizards: After scoring 18 points in the first quarter of an exhibition game at AmericanAirlines Arena, Michael Jordan did his damage in the fourth quarter of the first regular-season meeting, scoring eight of his 22 points over the final 12 minutes. The Heat also had trouble containing guard Richard Hamilton, who went for 19 points in the victory. Washington has struggled at home this season, with a 2-6 record at the MCI Center. Washington has sold out all eight of its home games, surpassing last season?s total of seven. Guards Bobby Simmons (knee) and Courtney Alexander (ankle) are on the injured list.
