One team is trying to make it to the post-season, while the other wants to stake their claim as one of the elite teams in the league.
The Hornets were close to making it to the playoffs last season but lost the race late in the regular season.
Now they are back and brought in new players to try and finally break the top eight teams in the East.
Al Jefferson is still the team's main focus in the middle as he commands the most attention for the team, but Charlotte have other players in their arsenal as well.
Nicolas Batum arrived from the Portland Trail Blazers as they add another scoring threat in their line-up, while Jeremy Lamb is a streaky shooter who was underutilized by the Oklahoma City Thunder. Expect him to have the minutes he needs to make the breakthrough.
Kemba Walker is still the team's best point guard and is expected to start, but Charlotte also added Jeremy Lin to the line-up to add depth and playing the two together may work out as Walker will likely move to the shooting guard slot and will be given more freedom to shoot.
Meanwhile, the Heat finally have a healthy line-up and are now looking like one of the better teams in the league.
Dwyane Wade is back and so is Goran Dragic to make a formidable backcourt for Miami, while Hassan Whiteside and Luol Deng will have back-ups such as Amar'e Stoudemire and rookie Justise Winslow to add to their depth.
Chris Bosh is also making his return to the floor after an illness and is expected to make up for the time he lost.
This should be one of the more interesting matches in the opening week of the season.
