Predictions-
In the absence of Bradley Beal, the Wizards need to find some inspiration to put up a fight against Miami. Isaiah Thomas came off a suspension and registered 20 points, four rebounds, and four assists in the last game. He could do well on Sunday, but eventually, the Heat might be too strong for a Wizards side that have been far from consistent this season.
