Deng (hamstring) is expected to play Wednesday but could be on a minutes restriction, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. "I'm going to figure out the rotation for tonight's game. That may affect what I do with Luol," said head coach Erik Spoelstra early Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

After missing over two weeks with a hamstring injury, Deng appears to be on track to play Wednesday against Charlotte. That said, an absence of that length may cause Spoelstra to ease the veteran wing back into game action by giving him a minutes restriction for his first game since November.
