The Heat have been reluctant to play Michael Beasley during the second half of games.

"I struggled with it and I was thinking about it," head coach Erik Spoelstra said of getting Beasley back during the finish of Wednesday's 93-89 victory in Washington. "He's going to get his opportunity. We need him. We're going to need him to play an important role and tonight I just went a different direction with the guys that were in the game."
