Deng (hamstring) is unlikely to play Monday against Washington. "I don't think Luol is going to play tonight," coach Erik Spoelstra said after the Heat's morning shootaround.

Analysis:

Deng has missed the last five games with a hamstring injury, and while he's said to be recovering, it looks as though he'll extend the streak to six. The small forward had been listed as questionable for each of the last two games, implying that he's at least somewhat close to making a return. Assuming he sits out Monday, his next opportunity to take the court will come Wednesday in Charlotte.
