The set-up: Miami is coming off 44 wins and it made it into the playoffs, only to get bounced by Philadelphia in the first round. The Heat didn't get any younger, re-signing Dwayne Wade for his "Swan Song" season, along with disgruntled big man Hassasn Whiteside. The Heat have an All Star in Goran Dragic, but the guard has been hampered by injury the last few years. Orlando has a new coach in Steve Clifford and he'll be leaning heavily on Aaron Gordon and Nikola Vucevic this season.

The pick: Vucevic was injured for most of the 2018/19 season, but he's now at 100% health and ready to go. The Heat can't say the same with all of their veterans. On Opening Night, I look for the home side to find a way to get the job done here.
