Miami could be without All-Star guard Dwyane Wade Wednesday night when the Heat make their annual stop in Utah and play the Jazz at EnergySolutions Arena.

Wade has been bothered by migraine headaches during the past two days and skipped the Heat's morning shootaround. His availability for tonight's game won't be known until just before tip-off, according to coach Eric Spoelstra.

"He's feeling better," Spoelstra said. "He was in a lot of pain last night [but] took his medication and finally was able to get some rest. So we'll see."

The Heat are 9-9 this season, including a creditable 4-6 on the road.

According to Spoelstra, Wade has been the key: "He's been great with his leadership and energy -- of course on the offensive end, but just as much on the defensive end with blocked shots and steals and helping with our team concepts."

Wade leads Miami in scoring (28.7), assists (7.9) and blocked shots (1.72).
