|
| |  | MIAMI: GUARDS: DWYANE WADE will continue to take a smaller role during the regular season, as the Heat try desperately to keep him fresh for the playoffs. He's attacking the rim far less than he used to . . . MARIO CHALMERS will continue to start, playing off the ball more than any other point guard . . . RAY ALLEN will once again serve as sixth man, providing long-range shooting off the bench. He didn't start a single game last year, and at age 38, he'll rarely play full-time minutes as Miami looks toward the postseason . . . NORRIS COLE continues to inch up on Chalmers' starting role, improving nicely between his first and second seasons. But as long as Chalmers is the superior shooter, Cole will play behind him. FORWARDS: LEBRON JAMES is the best player in the league by a wide margin. There's no reason he shouldn't win his third straight MVP award . . . SHANE BATTIER is back as a glue guy, flopper and corner-three shooter. He'll play part-time minutes, often coming off the bench . . . UDONIS HASLEM will likely start, but he rarely stays on the floor for even half of a game. The Heat will continue to rotate big men alongside Chris Bosh . . . MICHAEL BEASLEY provides this team with an athlete who can put the ball in the basket coming off the bench. He must prove he can stay focused and out of trouble . . . RASHARD LEWIS may step into a slightly bigger role now that Mike Miller is gone. His troublesome knees won't allow him to play a lot of minutes, but he still shoots it well enough to help for a few minutes a night . . . JAMES JONES might have to do more than enjoy a courtside seat now that Miller is gone. CENTERS: CHRIS BOSH plays center in the Heat's small-ball lineup. He'll do his thing in the high post, and he's one of Miami's rotating rim protectors . . . CHRIS ANDERSEN did enough last postseason to earn a part-time role this year . . . The Heat hope GREG ODEN and Birdman will stagger their injuries. Oden should be part of a rotation alongside Bosh . . . JOEL ANTHONY is a half-step above team mascot. | | LA CLIPPERS: GUARDS: CHRIS PAUL is back with the Clippers, and this time with his handpicked head coach. Not that Doc Rivers will make a big difference though, as he's just as uncreative an offensive tactician as Vinny Del Negro was . . . J.J. REDICK will do less ball-handling than he did in Orlando the first half of last season, but he should feast on the wide-open looks Paul creates for him . . . JAMAL CRAWFORD will once again be a Sixth Man of the Year candidate. He's a pure gunner with some creativity to his game . . . DARREN COLLISON is strictly a back-up after a dreadful one-year stint in Dallas . . . WILLIE GREEN, a starter in name-only last year, may be squeezed out of the rotation. FORWARDS: BLAKE GRIFFIN deferred more often last season, especially as he continues to see more double teams. But he did show improvement as a passer . . . JARED DUDLEY steps into Caron Butler's old role. He'll set up for a lot of wide-open corner threes. His reputation as a quality defender is downright wrong . . . MATT BARNES will often close games due to his defense, and he's coming off one of his best offensive seasons . . . Rookie REGGIE BULLOCK is the kind of spot-up shooter the Clips want to surround Paul with. If Bullock's defense matches up with his athleticism, he could break this rotation . . . It's tough to see how BYRON MULLENS fits on a team with postseason aspirations. CENTERS: Though he's the team's only real rim protector, DEANDRE JORDAN will likely be in a part-time role again. He still can't defend the pick-and-roll, and Rivers got by just fine without a shot-blocker in Boston . . . RYAN HOLLINS is little more than a big body with six fouls to give. Blake Griffin will often slide to the five on this team. |

*Heat-Clippers Preview* =======================
By ELI KABERON STATS Writer
Miami (34-13) at Los Angeles (34-17), 10:30 p.m. EDT
The Los Angeles Clippers have been terrific at home, but they haven't played in their building very often lately.
They'll get that chance Wednesday night when they open a five-game homestand with a matchup against a Miami Heat team that hasn't won on the road in this series in over six years.
The Clippers, who will be playing for just the third time in Los Angeles in the past 12 games, have averaged 112.6 points in winning seven in a row on their home floor. Forward Blake Griffin has been a catalyst, averaging 26.6 points and shooting 59.5 percent during that stretch.
Los Angeles' strength at home will be countered by the Heat's dominance in the month of February. Since 2010-11, the team's first season with LeBron James and Chris Bosh on the roster, Miami has gone 34-6 in the month. That includes 14 victories in a row and wins in 22 of its last 23 February games.
"As long as we don't turn the ball over and we rebound, or at least keep it close, we have a great chance of winning every game," James said. "We know that we are going to shoot the ball, we're going to share the ball and we're going to defend."
The Heat (34-13) topped Detroit 102-96 on Monday as Dwyane Wade led the way with 30 points and 10 rebounds while James added 24 points, 11 assists and eight boards. Wade's performance was especially encouraging for Miami, as he played more than 37 minutes for one of his highest totals of the season.
Wade, who rested for four games Jan. 18-23, has totaled 52 points and shot 23 for 34 (67.6 percent) in the last two contests.
"Since I got back, I've been looking for ways to be aggressive when I can," Wade said. "I'm just doing what I can."
The Clippers (34-17) are coming off a tough loss, falling 116-115 to Denver on Monday on a 3-pointer at the buzzer. Los Angeles, which has dropped two of three, took the lead with 6.2 seconds remaining on a 3 by Matt Barnes.
Griffin had 36 points and 11 rebounds, but he went 6 of 10 from the free-throw line in the second half. Los Angeles, which ranks among the NBA's top teams in total rebounds, lost the battle on the glass 52-37. The Clippers allowed 17 offensive rebounds which resulted in 24 second-chance points for the Nuggets.
"Offensive rebounds were huge," Griffin said. "The turnovers down the stretch were big. I've got to shoot better from the free throw line. All of those things."
When these teams met Nov. 7 in Miami, the Clippers held James to 18 points. However, they could not contain Wade, as he scored 11 of his 29 points during the fourth quarter in a 102-97 Heat victory. Griffin had 27 points and 14 rebounds.
The Clippers have won the last five meetings between these clubs at Staples Center since Miami's 100-94 victory Dec. 9, 2007.
The Heat are opening a stretch of six straight games on the road. Miami is 14-9 away from home after going 29-12 last season.
