- New Wizard Mike Bibby is uncertain for tonight's match with trade paperwork pending completion. He was acquired from the Atlanta Hawks for Wade's nemesis Kirk Hinrich along with Jordan Crawford and Maurice Evans. Dwyane must be elated.
- Miami leads the series against their Southeast Rivals 2-0, first comfortably defeating the Wizards 105-94 in "The Hangnail Game" and second by playing one of their worst games of the season yet squeaking past them 95-94 a night after blowing out the Knicks (Miami's next opponent on Sunday).
