|
| |  | ORLANDO: GUARDS: VICTOR OLADIPO, who will miss the first four weeks of season with a facial fracture suffered in a late October practice, will play off the ball more, allowing him to slash from the wing. It's a more natural role for him . . . With Jameer Nelson jettisoned, ELFRID PAYTON will step in as the starter at the point. He has an enormous transition from the Sun Belt Conference, but the quickness and athleticism are there . . . EVAN FOURNIER never found consistency in Denver, but could be a valuable wing shooter on a team that needs it . . . BEN GORDON was signed with a very 'tradeable' contract in mind. The Magic are hoping he shoots well enough to draw some suitors . . . LUKE RIDNOUR is a veteran insurance policy behind Payton . . . WILLIE GREEN can be an effective second-unit player . . . ROY DEVYN MARBLE seems like a D-Leaguer. FORWARDS: The Magic brought in CHANNING FRYE to provide some floor spacing and a veteran presence, both much-needed . . . TOBIAS HARRIS will likely have to play some more small forward. He has the offensive skill set to do it, but defense will continue to be an issue . . . He can play both forward spots, and AARON GORDON should be one of the league's better defensive forwards right off the bat. But for now, his offense is limited to dunking . . . It's a big year for MAURICE HARKLESS, who has yet to establish himself as a rotation-caliber player. With Harris and Gordon capable of playing the 3, Harkless could lose major minutes . . . ANDREW NICHOLSON has a ways to go after a disappointing second season. He's likely on the outside of this rotation. CENTERS: NIKOLA VUCEVIC is a cornerstone player in Orlando because he's big, and he does everything just well enough. He's not a game-changer on either side of the court . . . KYLE O'QUINN has had some good moments in garbage-time games the past two seasons. It's enough to keep him on the roster. |  | 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 information, no power rating or computer score edges are posted for this game. |

*Magic-Heat Preview* ====================
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
Orlando (12-21) at Miami (14-17), 7:30 p.m. EDT
The Orlando Magic didn't have an answer for Chris Bosh in a home loss to the Miami Heat last month. They might have to find a way to slow him if they hope to end their lengthy skid in the series.
After participating in practice Sunday, Bosh appears to be on target to make his much-anticipated return Monday night when the Heat go for their 11th straight victory over the visiting Magic.
Miami (14-17) hasn't been able to get going during a season-high seven-game homestand while Bosh has been out with a calf injury. The Heat lost for the fifth time in eight games without the All-Star forward in Saturday's 103-95 defeat to Memphis.
Dwyane Wade had a team-high 25 points, leaving him with a 29.8 per game average over his last five.
Wade, though, hasn't had much help lately, as the Heat are averaging 92.9 points since Bosh went down after scoring 95.0 during an 11-12 start. They shot 51.4 percent from the field Saturday, but sent the Grizzlies to the line 37 times - almost 13 more than their average.
"We're seeing improvement," said coach Erik Spoelstra, whose club has dropped four of six on the homestand. "We're not over the hump by any stretch and we have to keep on working."
Miami would receive a boost if Bosh is able to return in the last of the home stay against the Magic (12-21). Bosh, averaging 21.6 points and a team-high 8.2 rebounds, will be a game-time decision after practicing Sunday.
"He was able to go through all of it," Spoelstra said through the team's official twitter account. "All we can do is wait and re-evaluate how his body feels (Monday)."
With Wade sidelined, Bosh scored 32 and made 4 of 6 from 3-point range in a 99-92 victory at Orlando on Nov. 22. The Heat finished with a 52.1 field-goal percentage en route to their 10th straight win over the intrastate rivals.
Bosh has averaged 23.0 points while shooting 73.0 percent - including 6 for 9 from 3-point range - in his last three meetings.
Orlando's Nikola Vucevic could be tasked with containing him as the Magic look to beat the Heat for the first time since March 13, 2012. He struggled defensively in the first matchup, but finished with a career-high 33 points and 17 rebounds.
Vucevic, who averages 18.1 points and a team-best 11.6 boards, scored 22 and pulled down 11 rebounds Saturday to key Orlando's second win in three games, 102-94 at Charlotte.
"I'm not really used to guarding players like (Bosh)," Vucevic said after the first meeting. "Usually I'm around the paint, trying to help, but with him you can't do that. With Bosh, you have to be really close, and if you help he gets those open shots."
The Magic are scoring 97.0 per game while shooting 40.7 percent from 3-point range over their last three after they had averaged 89.0 with a 35.4 3-point percentage during a four-game losing streak.
Tobias Harris, averaging a team-best 18.6 points per game, missed last month's loss with a right calf strain.
Miami's Danny Granger is starting to show signs of returning to his pre-injury form, finishing with a season-high 18 points against the Grizzlies. Starting forward Luol Deng has totaled 41 points on 17-of-26 shooting in his last two games.
The Heat will go into the new year with a losing record for the first time since 2008.
