KEY GAME INFORMATION
MIAMI: GUARDS: He's a shell of his former self, but the Heat will have to squeeze more regular-season minutes out of DWYANE WADE. His effectiveness could depend on whether or not he finally develops a three-point shot . . . The point guard situation is getting muddied, but the Heat dug deep to re-sign MARIO CHALMERS. He'll top the PG depth chart again . . . NORRIS COLE is likely too small and too erratic to ever be a starter, but he'll continue to play solid minutes with the second unit . . . The Heat seemed to grab SHABAZZ NAPIER on draft night because he's a LeBron James favorite. Now that James is gone, the rookie could be the odd man out in the point guard rotation. He'll have to overcome subpar measurables. FORWARDS: LUOL DENG is most certainly not LeBron James, and he won't fill anything resembling James' new role. He does give them a strong role player, a defensive stopper and secondary scorer . . . JOSH McROBERTS will facilitate the offense at times and generally serve as a floor-spacing, stretch-4. Miami is built to go small with him and Chris Bosh up front . . . DANNY GRANGER is trying to reinvent himself after an injury-filled couple of seasons. He can play both forward spots and might fit best as a stretch-4 in head coach Erik Spoelstra's system . . . UDONIS HASLEM is essentially a mascot during the regular season . . . JAMES ENNIS could break into the rotation later this season. He was tremendous in Summer League play. CENTERS: CHRIS BOSH is the best player on this team by a significant margin. He'll be the focal point of the offense most nights and should flirt with the 20-10 numbers he used to put up in Toronto . . . CHRIS ANDERSEN will often pair with Bosh in the frontcourt, taking some of the defensive heat off Bosh against bigger lineups.

Because of this important information, no power rating or computer score edges are posted for this game.

ATLANTA: GUARDS: Considering he was almost gone a year ago, the Hawks are thankful JEFF TEAGUE is still in town. He may never be a great shooter, but he gets wherever he wants on the floor . . . KYLE KORVER is still the NBA's premier shooter, and he's shown no signs of relinquishing that title . . . THABO SEFOLOSHA gives the Hawks a defensive option to complement Korver. He looked worn down last season though, eventually falling out of OKC's rotation . . . KENT BAZEMORE gives Atlanta some more offensive firepower off the bench . . . DENNIS SCHRODER showed flashes of that Rajon Rondo Lite promise last year. Don't be surprised to see him paired with Teague in some lineups . . . There's no guarantee JOHN JENKINS will ever be the same after back surgery. FORWARDS: PAUL MILLSAP has developed into a capable co-alpha, along with Jeff Teague. In addition to his low-post work, he's developed a three-point shot and the ability to work off the dribble . . . DeMARRE CARROLL is trying to add a three-point shot to his repertoire. It would give him a big boost in offensive value to go along with his defense and all-around hustle . . . ADREIAN PAYNE will provide some much-needed depth at the 4 and 5 spots. He's NBA-ready, especially with his ability to pull opposing big men away from the basket with his shooting . . . MIKE MUSCALA gives them another big man who can shoot it, but he's not athletic enough to hold his own in the NBA. CENTERS: Will AL HORFORD ever stay healthy? He's an All-Star when he is. His recent injuries have been a bit fluky, but it's going to be tough to trust him . . . PERO ANTIC proved to be a capable stretch-5 last year, but the arrival of Payne will likely push him out of the rotation.

*Heat-Hawks Preview* ====================

By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer

Miami (33-38) at Atlanta (54-17), 7:30 p.m. EDT

The acquisition of Goran Dragic has been key to the Miami Heat's playoff push, and their eventual reward could be a series with the Eastern Conference-leading Atlanta Hawks.

With Dwyane Wade among several injured players, the Heat may need another strong performance from Dragic in this possible first-round playoff preview with the Hawks on Friday night.

Miami (33-38) is seventh in the East, with Boston, Indiana, Brooklyn and Charlotte in close pursuit. The Heat have gone 9-7 with Dragic in the lineup since acquiring him from Phoenix in a three-team trade Feb. 19, with the veteran point guard averaging 17.0 points, 5.6 assists and 1.5 steals.

He was particularly impressive Wednesday, scoring 22 points with seven assists and five rebounds to lead the short-handed Heat to a 93-86 road win over the Celtics. Wade (knee) and centers Hassan Whiteside (hand) and Chris Andersen (calf) all sat out.

"The example he set, constantly hitting the floor for loose balls, it set the tone and the example for everybody else," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "That's probably what would decide this game. ... Those loose balls and the extra rebounds were what really decided it."

Wade and Andersen are reportedly questionable to return Friday, while Whiteside is doubtful. That could lead to more shot attempts for Dragic, who had six points and as many assists while going 2 for 7 from the floor in a 93-91 loss to Atlanta (54-17) on Feb. 28.

Wade had 22 points in that meeting, while Whiteside added 14 with 24 rebounds as Miami lost its fifth straight in the series. Luol Deng, who scored 15 on Wednesday, has averaged 18.8 points in 16 career regular-season visits to Atlanta for his best road mark against any team from the East.

While the Heat are chasing a franchise-record seventh straight playoff appearance, the Hawks have already clinched an eighth consecutive trip.

Atlanta ended a season-high three-game losing streak with a 95-83 win at Orlando on Wednesday as it played on the road for the seventh time in eight contests.

"It was a big win for us just to get our confidence back," said guard Jeff Teague, who had 16 points and nine assists after averaging 10.3 and 3.7 during the skid. "We know we're a good team. We just had to go out and play like one."

That hasn't been a problem at home, where Atlanta is an East-best 30-5.

Paul Millsap has totaled 47 points and 18 boards in the last two games, adding a season-high four blocks against the Magic. The forward had 22 points on 8-of-15 shooting against the Heat last month, while Teague, Pero Antic and DeMarre Carroll were given the night off by coach Mike Budenholzer.

Teague was terrific in his last meeting with Miami, shooting 8 of 11 and finishing with 27 points, six assists, five rebounds and three steals in a 112-102 road win Dec. 3.

The Hawks' winning streak over the Heat is their longest since a 10-game run March 11, 1989-Nov. 9, 1991. Adding another victory would move Atlanta within two of matching its single-season record set in 1986-87 and tied in 1993-94.
