Cole will start Wednesday's opener against the Wizards, Joseph Goodman of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis:

Cole quietly beat out Mario Chalmers for the starting point guard spot during camp, and he'll hold onto it for the foreseeable future. The question now becomes: Will Cole play enough minutes to be an impactful fantasy commodity? At this point, it's difficult to imagine him playing drastically more minutes than Chalmers, so it's best to take a wait-and-see approach until we have a better idea of how coach Erik Spoelstra will handle his post-LeBron rotations.
