The Washington Wizards and Miami Heat will meet on Monday night in an NBA game that will be FREE live streaming online from American Airlines Arena at 7:30 PM ET
After a 95-88 overtime loss in Chicago on Sunday, Miami (43-17) is on the verge of dropping four in a row for the first time since a five-game skid Feb. 27-March 8, 2011.
Miami looked as though it might keep its skid brief after taking a 12-point lead early in the fourth quarter Sunday, but the Heat blew that advantage in less than four minutes and were outscored 9-2 in the extra period.
Dwyane Wade had 25 points while LeBron struggled with his shooting for the second straight game. The Heat star missed 15 of 23 shots, finishing with 17 points, and is 14 of 41 (34.1 percent) from the field in his last two contests.
James has played most of those two games without a mask meant to protect his broken nose. He's not been cleared to take it off but said it was uncomfortable.
He shot 39.0 percent and averaged 19.3 points, 7.8 below his season mark, during the Heat's winless three-game trip. In his most recent home game last Monday, he had a career-high 61 points on 22-of-33 shooting in a 124-107 win over Charlotte.
The Heat, though, had a four-game win streak in the series snapped with a 114-97 defeat Jan. 15. John Wall had 25 points to lead seven players in double figures in that victory, which capped Miami's only other three-game skid this season.
The Wizards, currently fifth in the Eastern Conference, have scored at least 104 points in the last six games during their 8-1 stretch. They've also only beaten one team that's above .500 in the past nine games, topping Toronto in triple overtime Feb. 27.
