|
| |  | DETROIT: GUARDS: New head coach Stan Van Gundy's system is perfect for BRANDON JENNINGS, as it is heavy on high pick-and-rolls, which is where Jennings is most dangerous. He'll never be an efficient scorer . . . Detroit gave a good chunk of change to JODIE MEEKS, so he's likely to start as a spot-up shooter when he returns from a back injury in January . . . A Tskitishvili Award-winner as one of the stars of Summer League, KENTAVIOUS CALDWELL-POPE has a shot to carve out sixth-man minutes . . . After a mini-breakout with Chicago, D.J. AUGUSTIN is the insurance policy behind Jennings. He's also a great fit for Van Gundy's system . . . WILL BYNUM has been downright solid with the second unit, but he'll have to play his way back into the rotation . . . This is a redshirt season for SPENCER DINWIDDIE as he comes back from a torn ACL. FORWARDS: They'll keep shopping JOSH SMITH, who is miscast as a 3 on this roster . . . KYLE SINGLER will continue to see solid part-time minutes. He can play both wing spots and has become a good enough threat on corner threes . . . CARON BUTLER joins a crowded frontcourt. He's evolved into a three-point specialist in the latter part of his career . . . Van Gundy is a JONAS JEREBKO believer. The stretch-4 fell out of favor the past two seasons, but he has a chance to earn a big role off the bench . . . CARTIER MARTIN gives them another athletic wing who can shoot the three . . . Euro import LUIGI DATOME was a big disappointment last season. He'll have a tough time breaking into this rotation . . . TONY MITCHELL might be looking at another year in the D-League . . . GREG MONROE is an everyday double-double threat. He'll fill the stat sheet as he plays for a contract for next season. CENTERS: ANDRE DRUMMOND is a monster on the boards with Defensive Player of the Year upside once he improves in space. Offensively, he can dunk but not much else . . . AARON GRAY is here to fill out the roster once he's cleared to return from his heart problems. |  | 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. |

*Pistons-Heat Preview* ======================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Detroit (28-44) at Miami (33-39), 6:00 p.m. EDT
Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat are hoping to resume their playoff push in South Beach after a disappointing road trip.
Looking to cool off the Detroit Pistons, the Heat try to extend their season-best home winning streak to five Sunday.
Miami (33-39) is surely looking forward to getting back on its own court after averaging just 85.5 points during a 1-3 trek. The Heat had another rough night Friday, falling 99-86 at Atlanta as the Hawks clinched the Eastern Conference's No. 1 seed.
Luol Deng had 17 points and 10 rebounds, but he was the only player to score more than 13 as Miami shot 39.0 percent. The Heat are clinging to seventh place in the conference, one game ahead of Boston and 1 1/2 ahead of ninth-place Brooklyn.
"It's the end of the year. We're playing teams we've played multiple times," Wade said. "They're scouting us pretty well, they're taking certain things away. We need to figure out a way to add a few different things, let them see something a little different."
Wade finished with 13 points in 22 minutes after sitting out two nights earlier with a swollen left knee. His status for this game doesn't appear to be in doubt.
"It was OK," he said of the injury. "It wasn't great but I just wanted to get out there and try to give my teammates something. Hopefully, I'll be better Sunday.
"I had a lot of fluid. In a perfect world I would love to get some fluid out."
Wade is averaging 28.7 points over a seven-game stretch at home, and Miami has won seven of its last eight there while scoring 105.6 per game.
"It's not just going to happen (on its own), we have to play better, play more as a unit," Wade said of regrouping at home. "We can bounce right back. This team has shown that we have the ability to do that.
"Sunday is a big game for us, we have to protect home court like we've been doing of late if we want to make the playoffs."
The Heat could have their hands full against a Pistons team that's won five of six, including four in a row while averaging 107.8 points. Reggie Jackson posted his second triple-double in five games with 26 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in Friday's 111-97 victory at Orlando.
Jackson is averaging 21.2 points and 11.8 assists over the last six contests.
"All of my teammates have done a great job encouraging me," said Jackson, acquired from Oklahoma City before the trade deadline. "We just want to keep riding the wave we've been on and see where we end up."
This Pistons (28-44) had dropped three straight to the Heat before taking this season's first meeting 108-91 on Feb. 3. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had 18 points and Andre Drummond posted 14 and 14 rebounds as Detroit outscored Miami 22-4 in transition with Wade on the sidelines.
Wade his missed eight of the last 15 matchups in the series, but he's averaged 23.7 points on 58.0 percent shooting in helping Miami win the seven he's played.
The Heat could be without center Hassan Whiteside for a third consecutive game due to a hand injury. Pistons big man Greg Monroe remains out with a knee issue.
