San Antonio Spurs vs Miami Heat: Predicted starting lineups and depth charts for Oct. 15 | 2024 NBA Preseason 

Monday's preseason schedule is packed with seven games, including a matchup between the San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat at Kaseya Center. The Spurs are looking to win their third preseason game after dropping their opening contest against the OKC Thunder. The Heat, on the other hand, will only be playing their third preseason game.

San Antonio's biggest acquisition this offseason was Chris Paul, who looked good playing with Victor Wembanyama. The Spurs will also cope with Devin Vassell's absence due to injury. Look for coach Gregg Popovich to insert players such as Julian Champaignie and Stephon Castle to step up.

Miami was not active in free agency and even lost a rotational player, Caleb Martin, to the Philadelphia 76ers. Nevertheless, the Heat still have a competitive roster headed by Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. Butler was linked to trade rumors this summer but seemed focused when he entered camp earlier this month.
