Dean Wade Poised to Record at Least One Rebound

Dean Wade is set to play a role in Friday night’s matchup at 8:00 p.m. ET, and a single rebound would be enough to clear the modest benchmark in his statistical line. Whether he logs a short stint or a more extended run, the forward’s presence on the court makes it likely he will contribute on the glass at least once.

Wade has typically been a low-usage piece whose value comes from defense, spacing and timely effort plays, and even limited minutes can put him in position to finish with a rebound. With the game scheduled for May 23 and all overtime periods counting, the expectation is that Wade will be part of the action and add at least one rebound to his stat sheet.
