Wayne Ellington (thigh) out Tuesday as Heat play Wizards

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington will not play Tuesday, reports Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.

What It Means:

Ellington will miss his fourth game in a row for the Heat. It's looking like he'll return soon, but for now he'll be out, opening up room for Tyler Johnson, Justise Winslow and Rodney McGruder to get more minutes. The Heat will stick with the same starting lineup as Monday.

Ellington was projected for 22 minuets and 14.3 FanDuel points before being ruled out. His next opportunity to play comes Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers.
