NBA TV will televise the Miami Heat's exhibition opener, when LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh play together for the first time on Oct. 5 against Detroit.

Marv Albert will call the game in Miami along with Kevin McHale and Chris Webber. Albert says although it's only a preseason game, there is ''extraordinary curiosity'' to see the superstar trio.

Now in more than 53 million U.S. homes, NBA TV is scheduled to show up to 275 live games this season. It will televise 20 live games during the preseason.
