Miami's streak was the longest for any team in the NBA this season.

Guard Dion Waiters will warm up with the intention of playing.

Waiters missed the last two games with an ankle injury.

Head Coach Erik Spoelstra said about the streak, "I've really enjoyed the grit and toughness of this group.. we still have 31 losses so let's not get carried away."

The Heat are currently two games behind Detroit for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Forward Udonis Haslem said, "The most impressive part is that we stayed with it, it came after we went 1-9... we could've cashed in our chips but we didn't."
