Heat's Josh McRoberts: Will start Wednesday

McRoberts will start at power forward Wednesday against the Nuggets.

Analysis:

The Heat have been using McRoberts mostly as a backup center this season, but he'll make his first start at the other frontcourt spot, replacing Derrick Williams. Williams was acting mainly as a placeholder in the lineup, with reserve big man James Johnson taking on most of the minutes at power forward, and a similar arrangement could be in place now that McRoberts is starting. Don't expect McRoberts to take on much more playing time than the 11.9 minutes per game he's averaging on the season.
