The Heat will face their first back-to-back early in the year, having to fly from Orlando to Washington, D.C. to play the Wizards Oct. 18.
Miami will be off during the NBA’s marquee Christmas Day match-up schedule. The last time the Heat played Dec. 25 was in 2014, after LeBron James had joined the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The full NBA schedule will be released Friday at 4 p.m. ET.
