It's been a relatively healthy season so far for Wade — who announced before the start of the season that this year will be his final year in the NBA. He has only missed nine games so far and has even shown sparks of his old self in some games.
Wade has played 39 games this season — all of which are off the bench. It's a role he has embraced this year to give way to the development of the Heat's young players. Wade is averaging 13.8 points per game, 4.3 assists, and 3.7 rebounds across 25.4 minutes.
His team is looking to get on a little three-game winning streak against the Bulls. If ever, this will be their longest streak since the five-straight victories they strung together earlier in the season.
Asked on how to extend their streak, Wade said, per NBA.com:
“It's understanding what makes us successful. You know, what makes us a successful team is, obviously, focusing on the defensive end of the floor, you know, taking care of the ball. But offensively, playing together as a unit.”
After hosting the Bulls, the Heat will continue their three-game homestand against the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers.
