Wade stays red hot as Heat win 20th straight
Dwyane Wade - G - Miami Heat
March 14, 2013 - 2:55 AM ET
Dwyane Wade had 21 points, eight rebounds and three assists on 7-of-14 shooting as the Heat beat the Sixers to win their 20th straight game on Wednesday.
This was Wade's first game without a steal since Jan. 23 and he's second to only Ricky Rubio in steals over the last 20 games. He's also scored 20 or more points in 11 straight games, and is the NBA's leading scorer in the paint over the last 20 games, making him possibly the most valuable fantasy player over that stretch. As for the Heat, they're tied with the '70-71 Bucks for the third longest winning streak and will try to pass them when they meet on Friday in Milwaukee, and then set their sights on No. 2 by chasing the '07-08 Rockets, who won 22 straight games. If they pull that off, the '71-72 Lakers are the last obstacle, but will be hard to catch with 33 straight wins.
