The Wizards are vulnerable, but the Heat will still need Hassan Whiteside, Goran Dragic and Luol Deng to play well in their match-ups. The Miami Heat managed to accomplish the elusive feat on winning back-to-back home games during this turbulent season earlier this week, with wins against the Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Whiteside: From nice story to necessity
MIAMI -- There was a moment in the second half of Wednesday's Lakers-Heat contest when Hassan Whiteside looked like he might wrestle again. Monday against the Suns, Whiteside's takedown of Alex Len cost him $15,000.

There was another moment when Whiteside laid on the floor for an entire defensive possession after Jordan Hill caught him in the face with an elbow.
