Heat's James Johnson: Will start at power forward Wednesday

Johnson will start at power forward in Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

Analysis:

With Luke Babbitt (hip) out Wendnesday, Johnson will take his place in the team's starting five. It shouldn't, however, have much of an impact on the number of minutes the forward will play against Charlotte, as Johnson has been an integral part of the Heat's rotation as of late and has been frequently used in their crunch-time lineups. Look for Johnson to play 30-plus minutes Wednesday in a key game for Miami as they look to make a push for the playoffs.
