KEY GAME INFORMATION
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.
SAN ANTONIO: GUARDS:Considering how exhausted he looked by the end of the Finals, don't be surprised if TONY PARKER gets more rest during the regular season . . . DANNY GREEN had a coming-out party this past June. A three-point specialist who can defend, the Spurs will lean on him more heavily during the first 82 . . . MANU GINOBILI looks oh-so-close to being done. His minutes will decline . . . MARCO BELINELLI adds quality depth behind Green. He'll take many of the minutes that used to go to Ginobili and Gary Neal, who left for Milwaukee . . . CORY JOSEPH enters the season as the favorite to back up Parker, but it's a fluid situation . . . NANDO DE COLO fell out of the rotation last season, but has enough talent that he should bounce back . . . PATTY MILLS is more of a cheerleader than a useful bench piece. FORWARDS: TIM DUNCAN just keeps going. The 2012-13 regular season was his best in years. The Spurs will keep his minutes in check, but he likely has another great season in him . . . KAWHI LEONARD is one of the league's elite role players, and he seems to keep getting better. He can shoot, score off the dribble and defend . . . JEFF AYRES is a skilled big man who will back up Duncan and can play alongside him for stretches. Like all of their frontcourt players besides Duncan, the player formerly known as Jeff Pendergraph, will see his playing time will fluctuate greatly depending on matchups. CENTERS: TIAGO SPLITTER continues to improve rapidly, and he'll now take the bulk of the minutes alongside Duncan. But as we saw in last year's Finals, head coach Gregg Popovich will keep him on the bench if the matchup isn't right . . . BORIS DIAW's versatility gives Pop options off the bench . . . MATT BONNER is pretty much just around to participate in the Three-Point Shootout at this point in his career.

*Heat-Spurs Preview* ====================

By JOHN KOSIK STATS Editor

Miami (43-15) at San Antonio (44-16), 8:00 p.m. EDT

LeBron James was too exhausted following one of his greatest games to do much of anything in the second half against Houston the next night.

The Miami Heat hope their leader will be well-rested for a matchup against the San Antonio Spurs, who are coming off one of their more balanced performances of the season.

The Heat visit the Spurs on Thursday night for their second meeting since Miami beat San Antonio in seven games in last season's NBA Finals.

James followed his career-best 61-point performance Monday against Charlotte - which also set a Heat record - with 22 points in a 106-103 loss road loss to the Rockets on Tuesday that ended Miami's winning streak at eight.

The four-time MVP, who acknowledged before the game that he was "extremely tired," had only three points after the break and appeared to drag at times in the second half. He was 1 for 7 over the final two quarters and spent the first half of the fourth on the bench.

"I fought through it in the first half. Second half it just wasn't there for me," James said. "Got out of rhythm."

Despite his struggles, the Heat managed to cut the deficit to three on Michael Beasley's 3-pointer with 21.2 seconds left. James, who has been wearing a mask to protect his broken nose, missed a desperation 3 at the buzzer.

Miami never led, but tied it twice in the fourth quarter.

"We were able to push back in the fourth quarter and tie the game up," said Dwyane Wade, who matched Beasley with 24 points to lead Miami. "But we had to exhaust so much energy trying to come back."

The Heat didn't need any kind of comeback in the first meeting with the Spurs, who trailed by as many as 29 in a 113-101 loss in Miami on Jan. 26.

They also didn't require a monster game from James. He was solid, scoring 18 points on 8-of-15 shooting, but five other Heat players reached double figures - led by Chris Bosh with 24 - and the team shot over 58 percent (43 for 74).

The Spurs hit 50 percent overall in that game but the NBA's top 3-point shooting team was done in mostly by a horrid night from long range, missing 16 of 22 attempts. Tim Duncan had 23 points, while Tony Parker had a quiet game with 11 points and seven assists.

Starters Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard and Tiago Splitter didn't play for San Antonio because of injuries, but all three are healthy heading into this matchup.

Green and Leonard were key in a 122-101 victory at Cleveland on Tuesday. Green scored 24 points and Leonard added 18 as the Spurs won their fourth straight.

They shook off a slow start by hitting 12 of their final 18 3-point attempts and piled up a season-high 39 assists on 43 field goals. In the second half, the Spurs had 24 assists on 25 field goals.

"That doesn't happen very often," coach Gregg Popovich said. "We've been doing that really well all year long, but that's a ridiculous ratio right there."

The fluid offensive night featured six Spurs in double figures - and Duncan and Parker weren't among them, combining for 14 points.

"That's a lot of fun," said reserve Manu Ginobili, who had 11 points. "That means everybody got involved and everybody enjoyed the game. It's great to be a part of that."

The Spurs won their first regular-season matchup against Miami after James joined the team in 2010, but have lost the last five.
