Granger (hamstring) is starting at small forward in his Heat debut Monday at Brooklyn.

Analysis:

Miami is without Luol Deng (wrist) and Dwyane Wade (hamstring) on the wing, and coach Erik Spoelstra has deemed that the situation is right for Granger's first game of the season. As a result, there are plenty of minutes to go around, but it's unclear what kind of workload Granger can handle at this stage in his career.
