A: If you're asking whether the Heat should "rest" Dwyane, then the answer is no, because the best way to rest Dwyane would be to be at home for the first two games of the playoffs. If the Heat do not finish with the No. 3 or No. 4 seed in the East, it is possible they will fly home from Boston overnight on Thursday April 14 and then have to leave for their first-round road series on Friday April 15. That, in essence, would basically have the Heat on the road for more than a week, when considering they will leave April 11 for their April 12 game in Detroit and then play in Boston on April 13, with the NBA playoffs opening on April 16. There could be a scenario, in fact, where the Heat play on Boston on April 13, fly home overnight on April 14 and then have to return to Boston on April 15 for a game that Saturday, on April 16. Teams will open the playoffs on either April 16 or April 17, based on television scheduling. If the Heat secure homecourt, it would assure them of a week at home after that April 13 regular-season finale in Boston. So, in a circuitous answer, I think playing Wade now could prevent headaches later. If he's hurting, then, of course, you sit him. But for rest? No, not at this stage, in this situation. The perfect solution was offered Tuesday: Build enough of a lead so Wade can rest late.
