One of the people Jones will be competing against is his Miami teammate, Mario Chalmers. Chalmers has had a great season from three-point range, where he is 6th in the league with a 45.6% average from downtown.
He will also be facing 2 All-Stars in Kevin Love and Kevin Durant. They both have the lowest percentages out of the competitors, but they have shown that they can knock down the long ball.
The other 2 competitors are Anthony Morrow of the New Jersey Nets, who will be wearing a Drazen Petrovic jersey to honor the former Nets start, and Ryan Anderson, the surprising Magic player who has had a breakout season and is shooting 42% from 3-point land.

Tonight, the two Heat teammates will face off in the 3-point shootout

It should be a very interesting contest, but it’s good to know that the Heat have a 33% chance of winning it. Tune in tonight to support your Heat!

Miami needs to stop Howard

Miami will be looking to avenge their February 8th loss to Orlando, where the Magic beat the Heat 102-89. This was the first game of the 6 game road trip, and the Heat haven’t lost since. The Heat are well rested and playing the best basketball they have since the Big Three came to Miami, so this game should be a lot different.

The Heat have to stop Dwight Howard. Last game, Howard scored 25 points and had 24 rebounds. Also, the Magic are not going to knock down 17 3-pointers like they did last time. Ryan Anderson has played well all season and Miami needs to take care of him. Chalmers will play against the Magic after being injured in their last meeting, and between him and Norris Cole, the Heat will force Jameer Nelson to make plays.

The Heat and Magic are both on winning streaks, but no one team in the NBA is playing as well as the Heat right now. Orlando is either very hot or very cold, but Miami’s efficiency should prevail. Expect an energetic, high-paced game this Sunday afternoon.
