MIAMI AT CLIPPERS: Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. TV: Prime Ticket, ESPN.

The point guard really might seem larger than life if he can lead the Clippers to prominence in a Lakers town, and a victory over Miami would be a good place to start. The Heat has persevered through injuries to LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, avoiding the slow start it endured last season when it lost four of its first nine games while waiting for the Big Three to mesh.
Now it’s the Clippers who are trying to find a winning formula after a roster makeover.
