It's a battle of the top two in the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference. Miami Heat are in second and can go top if they win this  home match against Washington Wizards. With a season record of 10-5, Miami are fourth overall in the Eastern Conference, with the Washington Wizards top. The Heat have won five of their six home games this season with only Boston beating them. A win over the Wizards will be their third successive home victory. They come into this game looking for a fourth successive victory, the most recent being over New Orleans on Wednesday.

The Wizards top the Southeast Division and have a game in hand on Miami. Their success this season is mainly down to their home form, with six wins out of seven. However, on the road they have won four and lost three. This month began with two defeats but they then won five in a row before losing at Charlotte on Wednesday. Now they travel to Miami, before hosting them on Saturday. It's a chance to go clear at the top but it's more likely that both sides will get a win from these two games, beginning with a Miami home win here.
