Back-to-back? Maybe Not
The Miami Heat are being conservative with their guys, allowing Amar’e Stoudemire, Josh McRoberts and Mario Chalmers to sit out the next game Tuesday against the Orlando Magic to get their bodies right. They will both chalk it up to knee soreness.
Add Mario Chalmers to Heat's knee soreness unit, joining Amar'e and McRoberts among those expected to rest the next few days.

Oh, throw Wade in there too.
Wade: "I'm not playing no back-to-backs in the preseason."

Bosh may also take the night off. Back-to-backs in the preseason are no fun, and the Heat veterans may just sit it out. No need to strain the body now.
Resting guys is the way to go in the preseason, especially against a division opponent that (a) you already played this preseason and (b) may not want to show a lot to during these exhibition games. The Heat will play the Magic Tuesday night.
