The Miami Heat will host the Washington Wizards at Kaseya Center on Sunday.

The Heat (35-28) are sitting in a solid position in the standings, as they enter this game in sixth place of the Eastern Conference. However, their recent form has been less than ideal. Miami is coming off a 107-100 defeat to the Oklahoma City Thunder, and that defeat means Miami has now dropped two in a row and three of its last five contests. Losing to both OKC and Dallas on the road shouldn’t have been easy for Miami, but the Heat will return home now, where they have looked competitive thanks to a 17-13 record. In fact, Miami enters this game on a two-game winning run at home while securing the victory in four of its last five in front of their fans. That should be enough reason to believe the Heat are favorites to get the victory here against a struggling Washington team.

Kevin Love (heel), Tyler Herro (foot) and Josh Richardson (shoulder) are all out for this game. Richardson is out for the season.

The Wizards (10-53) sit near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, and they will likely battle with the Detroit Pistons for that cellar spot in the final weeks of the regular season. The Wizards were going through an awfully bad stretch that saw them lose 16 games in a row, including their previous meeting with the Heat, until they defeated the Charlotte Hornets on March 8. Washington has had some bright spots this season, such as Deni Avdija and the play of Kyle Kuzma, but this is a franchise that needs fresh talent to start a rebuilding process. Right now, Washington is nowhere near from starting a full-scale rebuild. That’s something they need to do if they want to end all the struggles they’ve endured in recent years.

The Wizards are listing Landry Shamet (calf) as a game-time call for Sunday. Marvin Bagley (back) is out, and Isaiah Livers (hip) is out for the rest of the season.
