Deng (calf) took part in a full practice Monday and hopes to return to action Tuesday against the Pistons, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. "It was a lot better today," Deng said. "Now we just have to see how it feels tomorrow."

Analysis:

Deng has missed the last three games with a calf injury, enabling Danny Granger to start in his place. However, barring a setback, Deng will look to return Tuesday as Miami takes on Detroit for the first time this season. With Dwyane Wade (hamstring) out for at least another couple of weeks, it's unclear how coach Erik Spoelstra will handle the rotation, so it's possible Granger could remain in the starting lineup. Either way, both Granger and rookie Shabazz Napier will continue to see a bump in minutes in Wade's absence.
