|
| |  | MIAMI: GUARDS: The regular season goal for DWYANE WADE is to just stay healthy. Even following knee surgery, he's still good enough to pile up numbers, but the minutes won't be there in the regular season . . . That's why the Heat brought in RAY ALLEN. He and Wade will share the floor at times, but Allen should primarily play off the bench. His role will be to knock down the wide-open threes Wade and LeBron James create . . . After all the big plays he made in the postseason, MARIO CHALMERS is entrenched as the starting point guard, despite being plagued by a bad hammy in the preseason . . . Super-quick NORRIS COLE looks like he'll become one of the NBA's better backup point guards . . . If he doesn't retire, the absurdly brittle MIKE MILLER will see limited regular-season minutes . . . TERREL HARRIS will likely make the team because he's willing to play defense. FORWARDS: While another title is their No. 1 priority, LeBRON JAMES has shown no need to rest during the regular season. He'll play full-time minutes and be in the thick of the MVP race . . . CHRIS BOSH remains integral to the offense with his ability to pull opposing bigs away from the basket. His stats don't reflect his actual value . . . SHANE BATTIER will continue to be a defensive specialist whose offensive role is limited to shooting open threes . . . UDONIS HASLEM is another guy who will get held back in the regular season. He should lead their low-post rotation . . . RASHARD LEWIS' knee problems have robbed him of athleticism . . . But Lewis should beat out fellow shooter JAMES JONES for a rotation spot . . . JARVIS VARNADO is a shot-blocking force with little to no offensive game. CENTERS: JOEL ANTHONY will continue to tag-team with Haslem in the middle. Anthony is an absolute negative on the offensive end, but he brings more size and shot-blocking than Haslem . . . DEXTER PITTMAN will be battling for a roster spot. Sexy Dexy has shown no signs of being an NBA-caliber player so far in his career . . . MICKELL GLADNESS is a better alternative than Pittman on both ends of the floor. | | GOLDEN STATE: GUARDS: STEPHEN CURRY is this offense's engine and a stat-stuffing machine, as long as he's healthy. His ankle should be healed, but his small frame hasn't proven to be up to the rigors of the NBA . . . KLAY THOMPSON is a pure shooter who played himself into a starting job last year. He's a bit one-dimensional, but this spread, up-tempo offense is right up his alley . . . JARRETT JACK will back up both guard spots and provide some insurance for the fragile Curry . . . BRANDON RUSH is going to push for a starting job, but he's never proven to be more than a second-unit talent . . . As a rookie, CHARLES JENKINS proved worthy of a roster spot during his late-season audition. But he'll be looking at a lot of DNP-CDs as long as Curry and Jack are healthy. FORWARDS: DAVID LEE's touches will drop alongside Andrew Bogut. The Warriors seem prepared to give him major minutes despite his defensive shortcomings . . . HARRISON BARNES should push for a starting job early. He's not a great iso player, but the Warriors' offense should set him up with catch-and-score opportunities . . . CARL LANDRY is active around the basket and should do some damage over 20 MPG . . . RICHARD JEFFERSON is going to be in a mentor role until his contract expires in two years . . . JEREMY TYLER is young and a borderline usable big off the bench . . . Second-rounder DRAYMOND GREEN isn't an athlete but does a bit of everything. He figures to have a limited role as a rookie. CENTERS: His fractured ankle is not quite 100 percent, but ANDREW BOGUT hopes to be healed enough when the season starts to be the centerpiece of the frontcourt. He can rebound and defend, and he'll get his share of easy scoring opportunities with so many shooters spreading the floor . . . The Warriors seem content to let ANDRIS BIEDRINS rot on the bench . . . Rookie FESTUS EZELI is too raw offensively to see significant minutes. |

*Heat-Warriors Preview* =======================
Miami (24-12) at Golden State (23-13), 10:30 p.m. EDT
Expect LeBron James to make history Wednesday night.
James needs 18 points to become the youngest player to reach 20,000 as the visiting Miami Heat try to avoid a season sweep by the Golden State Warriors.
The Heat superstar has been held below 18 points just once this season, a 15-point effort at Portland last Thursday. He has scored fewer than 18 just once in 17 games against Golden State (23-13).
Scoring 18 on Wednesday will mean that he will reach 20,000 at the age of 28 years, 17 days. The youngest to date to reach that milestone was Kobe Bryant, who got there when he was 29 years, 122 days old.
Thirty-seven players have scored 20,000.
"You look at how many players have come through this league, the history of the game," James said. "That 20K mark is very limited. How many guys have done that? It's very, very limited.
"It'll be big-time. I'm not going to shy away from that. I'm not a big stats guy as far as individual, but that'll be pretty cool."
In terms of games played, James would be the seventh-fastest in NBA history to join the 20,000 club. Wednesday will be his 726th regular-season game.
Wilt Chamberlain needed only 499 games to score 20,000, followed by Michael Jordan (620), Oscar Robertson (671), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (684), Elgin Baylor (711) and Allen Iverson (713). Shaquille O'Neal did it in 727 games.
Miami (24-12) will be looking to bounce back after dropping to 1-3 on this six-game trip with a 104-97 loss at Utah on Monday. James scored 32 as the Heat nearly rallied from a 21-point deficit.
Now Miami will try to avenge a 97-95 home loss to Golden State on Dec. 12. Jarrett Jack fed rookie Draymond Green for the winning layup with 0.9 seconds to go in one of many surprising wins this season for the Warriors, who overcame 31 points from James.
Golden State has matched its victory total from last season's 66-game campaign. The Warriors' success could lead to a second career All-Star appearance for forward David Lee, who has never played on a winning team nor previously been in the postseason.
Lee is second in the league with 23 double-doubles, including a 22-point, 14-rebound effort in last month's win against the Heat.
"We've turned the culture around," Lee said. "We've turned the wins and losses around and we just need to keep it that way."
Jack and Klay Thompson combined for 47 points in the first meeting while leading scorer Stephen Curry was held to nine - 11.5 below his average.
The Warriors had a 41-38 edge on the glass last month against the Heat, who have been outrebounded three times on this trip after the Jazz amassed a 40-23 advantage and outscored Miami 19-0 on second-chance points.
"It is not going to be easy," coach Erik Spoelstra told the league's official website. "Our road trip doesn't get easier. If we want a quality win, we have to give more."
The Warriors also enter as losers of three of four after getting outscored 37-18 in the fourth quarter of a 116-105 defeat at Denver on Sunday. Lee had 23 points and 13 boards but Jack and Thompson combined for 10 of Golden State's 18 turnovers.
