|
| | | 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. | | NEW YORK: GUARDS: RAYMOND FELTON is still the best the Knicks can do at point guard. With his shortcomings in the half court, head coach Mike Woodson's desire to go up-tempo should play to Felton's skill set a little bit better . . . IMAN SHUMPERT should be ready for a slightly bigger role. He's their best perimeter defender and a good enough spot-up shooter to play off Carmelo Anthony . . . J.R. SMITH's offseason knee surgery is a bit of a concern, as is the fact that he's no longer in a contract year. Still, the reigning Sixth Man of the Year should light it up on many nights . . . PABLO PRIGIONI will be Felton's primary back-up. He disappears at times, but can at least knock down threes . . . BENO UDRIH will provide quality backup minutes after another solid year seeing big minutes in Orlando'TIM HARDAWAY JR. is likely looking at a redshirt year in 2013-14. FORWARDS: Last year was CARMELO ANTHONY's dream offense, with lots of isolation plays. With his improved three-point shot, Melo should make a run at a second-straight scoring title . . . ANDREA BARGNANI might start by default, but he's more suited to a part-time role as a one-dimensional floor spacer . . . Expect to see a lot of lineups with either Anthony or METTA WORLD PEACE at the four. MWP is still good enough defensively to justify his erratic shot selection . . . AMAR'E STOUDEMIRE will likely be limited to a part-time role due to injuries. He'll try to re-invent himself as a second-unit scorer . . . KENYON MARTIN will be counted on to play some four and five off the bench . . . Athletic rookie C.J. LESLIE is ticketed for the D-League. CENTERS: TYSON CHANDLER will be relied on heavily on the glass for what could be the weakest rebounding team in the NBA. The Knicks would like to keep his regular-season minutes down, but they may be forced to play him a lot if they're going to get home court in a first-round playoff series . . .

*Heat-Knicks Preview* =====================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
Miami (32-13) at New York (19-27), 8:30 p.m. EDT
The New York Knicks have turned things around on a long homestand, though none of their victories have come against impressive competition.
They'll see if their winning ways will hold up against a contender Saturday night when they try to knock off the visiting Miami Heat for a second time in just over three weeks.
New York (19-27) has won four in a row at Madison Square Garden after starting its eight-game homestand with three straight losses. The Knicks are averaging 116.5 points during the win streak while going 47 of 99 from 3-point range (47.5 percent).
"It is starting to feel a lot better here on our home court to win basketball games," said Carmelo Anthony, shooting 49.4 percent from 3-point range in 16 contests since returning from a sprained ankle. "We're just trying to keep it going."
But the Knicks, who are 7-16 against teams with a .500 or better record entering the weekend, may not have impressed many with victories over sub-.500 foes Charlotte, the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston and Cleveland.
Another win over the Heat - whom they defeated 102-92 on Jan. 9 - would surely command more attention. New York, which went 10-6 in January after a 9-21 start to the season, has won four of five in the series, all by at least 10 points. Anthony has averaged 36.6 points in his last five versus Miami.
The Heat (32-13) concluded a mediocre month - by their standards - with an 8-6 record following a 112-95 home loss to Oklahoma City on Wednesday. They led by as many as 18 points in the first quarter before suffering their most lopsided home loss since LeBron James and Chris Bosh came to Miami.
Dwayne Wade had 15 points, his most productive game in three weeks as he's been in-and-out of the lineup with knee problems.
The Heat have allowed 15 opponents to shoot 50.0 percent or better from the field this season, with seven of those contests coming in January. Oklahoma City shot 51.3 percent and went 16 of 27 from beyond the arc.
"We have some work to do," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We're like everybody else in the league. Nobody is infallible. We have some things to improve on. We know the things we have to improve on. We're not there yet."
The Thunder converted 21 Miami turnovers into 25 points. New York hurt the Heat in similar fashion in the first meeting with 19 points off 15 turnovers.
James scored 32 against the Knicks on 12-of-17 shooting while Anthony went 12 of 24 for 29 points. The teams shot a combined 54.0 percent, but New York claimed a 43-32 rebounding advantage.
The Knicks come off a 117-86 win over the Cavaliers on Thursday, with Anthony and Tim Hardaway Jr. each scoring 29. J.R. Smith tallied 19 while starting in place of Iman Shumpert, who is day-to-day with a sprained right shoulder.
Smith is averaging 17.0 points on the homestand and is 10 of 18 from 3-point range during the win streak. He was benched against Miami by coach Mike Woodson a day after being fined by the league for multiple acts of unsportsmanlike conduct.
It's unclear if Kenyon Martin and Amare Stoudemire, both dealing with ankle issues, will be able to play. Martin has missed six of New York's last seven games while Stoudemire has sat out seven straight.
Bosh was 3 of 10 with only six points in the first meeting and is shooting just 36.9 percent in his last five games versus New York.
