02/08/2012 22:00 Howard goes 25-24; Magic beat Heat
Dwight Howard had 25 points and 24 rebounds, Ryan Anderson scored 27 points and the Orlando Magic hit 17 3-pointers in a 102-89 victory against the Miami Heat on Wednesday night.
Dwyane Wade proved more than capable of retaining his status as one of the elite guards in all of Fantasy, despite the addition of LeBron James and Chris Bosh last season. While the Big Three had some problems meshing together in the early going, Wade had no problem getting his numbers and was able to avoid the significant drop-off in production that some Fantasy owners had feared. His scoring average did dip by about a point, but D-Wade still averaged 25.5 points per contest while shooting an even 50 percent from the floor. His rebounding and assists remained on par with his career numbers and he averaged over a block per contest for the third straight season. With a very shallow bench and a roster full of over-the-hill veterans, Wade and Co. were forced to carry much of the scoring load for the Heat. That is looking to be the case once again heading into 2010-11, so look for Big Three to be the team's primary source for offense once again. While it may take the Heat longer than anticipated to win a title, Fantasy owners can enter the 2011-12 campaign knowing full well what to expect from Wade. He should once again be considered a worthy of a first-round pick in all formats on Draft Day. (Updated 8/23/11)
