Napier will start against Dallas on Friday.

Analysis:

With Dwyane Wade (hamstring) out for at least 2-to-3 weeks, the Heat will first turn to a dual-point guard lineup of Napier and Mario Chalmers at the guard spots with Dallas coming to town. Although he had two encouraging consecutive starts against the Warriors and Kings on Jan. 14 and Jan. 16, respectively, Napier's per-minute production is generally modest. Chalmers is the more worthwhile fantasy consideration.
