The Miami Heat need a good luck charm right now.

The team, which had an unfortunate first outing at the NBA finals Wednesday night, at least have famous cheerleaders in their corner.

Trina has helped head up a remix of the “Dwade” song just in time.

The Miami rap legend and up and comer Dyamond Doll originally teamed up for the track, an homage to Dwyane Wade, which they released in late March.

Doll and Tri’s most recent version gets a little help from Heat’s resident DJ Irie (he drops the intro) and hip hopper Ball Greezy (of “Lil’ Duval Smile” fame).

The 305 squad’s heavyweights are well represented on this “Dwade Remix”: Udonis Haslem, Jimmy Butler and rookie extraordinaire Tyler Herro.

“Air Jordans, checks like Nike. I’m yelling Jimmy Butler now the op’s getting feisty,” read the lyrics. “D-Wade. Big, big body. New, new money. Want something from me?”

SWISH.

“Inspiration of the original song was acknowledging Dwyane Wade after his retirement for bringing the city of Miami three-championship rings,” said Doll. “The remix includes our current Miami Heat roster going for their fourth ring.“

Not sure if music can help heal these guys, but here’s to hoping. Currently, Bam Adebayo (who has neck strain) and Goran Dragic (torn plantar fascia) are reportedly doubtful to play in Game 2 Friday night.

But hey, do the LA Lakers have their own anthem? Probably, but ours is better.
