Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade scored 20 points (9-of-16 field goals) with 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 2 3-pointers, and 2 turnovers in 28.0 minutes of a 113-108 win over the Washington Wizards on Saturday.
What It Means:
The past two 20-point games for Wade have been on the second half of back-to-back sets, which the 37-year-old hadn't even participated in until recently. He was able to get his shot to fall in this one after going just 10-of-24 (41.7 percent) in the previous two games. The Heat currently hold a 1.0-game lead over the Orlando Magic for the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Those two teams square off in Miami on Tuesday.
Wade scored 39.3 FanDuel points in the win. He's averaging 26.6 FanDuel points per game this season.
