KEY GAME INFORMATION

MEMPHIS: LAST SEASON: 33-49, finished tied for 12th in Western Conference.
COACH: Taylor Jenkins (first season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: F/C Jaren Jackson Jr. (13.8 ppg), G Ja Morant (rookie), C Jonas Valanciunas (15.6), G/F Dillon Brooks (7.5), F Jae Crowder (11.9).
KEY LOSSES: G Mike Conley, G Jevon Carter, G Delon Wright.
KEY ADDITIONS: Morant, G Grayson Allen, F Brandon Clarke, Crowder, G Marko Guduric, F Solomon Hill, G Tyus Jones, G/F Jon Konchar, G De'Anthony Melton, C Miles Plumlee.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Jackson is fully recovered from the bruised right quadriceps muscle that limited his rookie season to 58 games, and the No. 4 pick overall in 2018 has even grown a little bit. Morant played his way into the No. 2 draft pick overall in June, and now the 6-3 guard will get to showcase his speed, passing skills and court vision surrounded by players closer to his talent level than he did in college at Murray State. Valanciunas earned an extension from Memphis and now must prove he can keep producing double-doubles regularly.
OUTLOOK: Marc Gasol and Conley both are gone, and it's up to Jackson and Morant to lead this rebuilding process for Memphis after the Grizzlies revamped the roster as much as possible in one offseason. This season may not be pretty at times, but at least the Grizzlies have hope for the future based on a duo they hope will become big stars. The franchise just may have to wait a couple seasons or more for a return to the postseason.

MIAMI: LAST SEASON: 39-43, finished in 10th place in Eastern Conference.
COACH: Erik Spoelstra (12th season, 523-363).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Justise Winslow (12.6 ppg), G Dion Waiters (12.0), G Jimmy Butler (18.7 with Minnesota and Philadelphia), F Kelly Olynyk (10.0), C Bam Adebayo (8.9).
KEY LOSSES: G Dwyane Wade, G Josh Richardson, C Hassan Whiteside, G Rodney McGruder.
KEY ADDITIONS: Butler, G Tyler Herro, F-C Meyers Leonard.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Butler gets a team to call his own, and assumes the role of locker-room leader in the place of Wade ' who retired after 16 seasons, most of them with Miami. The Heat are hoping for healthier years from Waiters and PG Goran Dragic, after both missed about half of last season. Herro, the No. 13 pick in this year's draft, had a strong summer league and followed that up with big numbers in the preseason so he'll clearly be in the mix somewhere. Adebayo enters his first full year as the starting center, a job he won down the stretch last season, and will get help from fellow bigs Olynyk and Leonard. Winslow wants to be a leader for the group, but has missed 94 games in the last three seasons.
OUTLOOK: The Heat haven't won a playoff series since 2016 and are only 124-122 over the last three seasons, yet believe they can get back into more of a postseason-contender role ' even without Wade, who was the team's best player last season. Getting Butler was a major boost and he'll unquestionably be the key to everything Miami does, though he won't be asked to carry the load by himself. Defense wasn't the problem for Miami last season after the Heat finished No. 2 in the league in points allowed; the biggest issue was inconsistent offense, which figures to get better.

PREVIEW

Heat open vs. Grizz seeking return to winning ways

The Miami Heat, who play host to the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night in the season opener for both teams, are already off to a bad start.

Dion Waiters, who's in his fourth season with the Heat but has missed 126 of a possible 246 Miami games due to ankle/foot injuries, will miss the Memphis game due to a suspension for a violation of team rules.

Waiters played just 10 minutes in Friday's exhibition finale, and that seemed to upset him, as he was seen in a seemingly heated discussion with Heat coach Erik Spoelstra.

"There were a number of unacceptable incidents this week, culminating with his unprofessional conduct on the bench on (Friday night)," Heat president Pat Riley said. "As a consequence, I feel we had to suspend him."

Waiters, who averaged 12.0 points in 44 games last season, is the second Heat player punished during the preseason. Forward James Johnson reported to camp in poor shape and was not permitted to work with the team. He has since returned.

Despite those issues, the Grizzlies appear to be the perfect season-opening opponent for Miami, given that Memphis won just 33 games last season and has since traded several veterans, including point guard Mike Conley, center Marc Gasol and forward Chandler Parsons.

Those moves left third-year shooting guard Dillon Brooks as the most-tenured member of the Grizzlies.

But what the Grizzlies lack in experience, they at least have in excitement, especially with Ja Morant, the rookie point guard selected second overall in the 2019 NBA Draft. Morant has elite athleticism and averaged 11.3 points and 7.3 assists in four preseason games.

Brandon Clarke, Memphis' late-first-round choice, was the MVP of the Las Vegas Summer League and then had two double-doubles in his only two preseason games against NBA teams. The 6-foot-8 forward from Gonzaga was recently voted the second-biggest steal in the draft in a poll of NBA general managers.

Another Grizzlies youngster is 6-11 power forward Jaren Jackson Jr., the fourth pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. Jackson was fourth in last season's Rookie of the Year voting after averaging 13.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.4 blocks. But in three exhibition games this month, he fouled out twice.

"I've got to do a 180," Jackson said.

Jackson and Morant both are 20 years old, and Clarke, Brooks and backup point guard Tyus Jones are all 23.

The Heat, meanwhile, feature a veteran team with point guard Goran Dragic, 33, and newly acquired small forward Jimmy Butler, 30.

Dragic, an NBA All-Star in 2018, was limited to 36 games last season due to injuries. He might play off the bench this season.

Butler is a four-time All-Star, most recently in 2018.

Miami is not without young talent, including point guard/wing Justise Winslow, 23, rookie shooting guard Tyler Herro, 19, and center Bam Adebayo, 22.

The Heat, who finished two wins short of the playoffs last season, went 39-43 for their third losing campaign in five years. That string of failure from a franchise that advanced to four straight NBA Finals with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh motivated Riley to acquire Butler.
