The Washington Wizards will face off against the Miami Heat at the Capital One Arena in the NBA on Sunday morning. Both the Wizards and Heat are 2-2 and fifth and sixth respectively in the Eastern Conference standings. Check out our match prediction below. 

After losing their first two games of the season, the Washington Wizards seem to have found their form and are now aiming for a third-straight win after beating the Hawks 133-120 in the week. 

Bilal Coulibaly notched up 27 points, Jordan Poole contributed 24 points with nine assists and Jonas Valanciunas added 22 points and six assists in the victory. 

As a collective, the Wizards are now up to seventh in points scored per game (118.0), but defensively they could use improvement, currently ranked second-bottom in the NBA for PPG against (124.0).

Meanwhile, the Miami Heat will be aiming to bounce back to winning ways here after suffering a 116-107 loss to the New York Knicks in midweek. 

Tyler Herro put in a very impressive performance, scoring 34 points including eight three-pointers, while Terry Rozier added 16 points and Jimmy Butler chipped in with 15 points. 

So far this season, Miami are ranked 27th in points scored per game (106.0), but their major strength has been in defence, where they are allowing just 109.9 PPG (sixth in the NBA).
