NOTABLE

» Miami swept the series with the Spurs last season, including a 107-87 win in its lone trip to the AT&T Center. A win Wednesday would give the Heat consecutiv­e victories in San Antonio for the first time in club history.

» Yurtseven posted a 16-point, 15-rebound line Sunday at Orlando, becoming the second undrafted player since 1970 to log at least a 15-15 in his first career start. Milwaukee’s Bonzi Colson accomplish­ed that March 31, 2019.

» Wednesday’s game concludes Miami’s sixth back-to-back set of the season.
