Miami will be without six guards, including Tyler Herro, Davion Mitchell and Pelle Larsson. Orlando will be without the Wagner brothers plus Jalen Suggs, who's recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery he underwent in March. Don't expect Erik Spoelstra to play his starters heavy minutes. But expect plenty of on-ball reps from Nikola Jovic - the team's de-facto point guard - in addition to Jaime Jaquez Jr., Norman Powell and Andrew Wiggins, when they're on the floor.

"They're both out for this first game definitely, we'll see where we are at for the second game. Denise picked up a knock on the knee on Saturday and Megan picked up a knock in training yesterday," Ward told RTE.
