Heat hope to stop slide vs. WarriorsBasketball Betting Lines03/02/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dwyane Wade is back from a calf injury, but the Miami Heat are still struggling. Tonight they'll try to put the brakes on a four-game losing streak versus the Golden State Warriors in the opener of a three-game homestand at AmericanAirlines Arena. Miami dropped a 96-80 decision to the division-rival Orlando Magic on Sunday, as Wade returned from a four-game absence because of a left calf strain and had a team-high 21 points in defeat. "It felt good to be out there and I wanted to be aggressive," Wade said. "I'll see how I feel tomorrow and hopefully don't take a step backwards." Jermaine O'Neal and Rafer Alston added 16 and 15 points, respectively, for the playoff-hopeful Heat, who will also host the Lakers and Hawks, and are 14-14 in south Florida this season. Meanwhile, the Warriors will try to stop a six-game slide as the visitor when they kick off a five-game road trip tonight against Miami, Orlando, Atlanta, Charlotte and New Orleans. They haven't won on the road since January 6 at Minnesota and sport a lowly 4-23 mark away from Oakland this season. Golden State completed a six-game homestand with a 3-3 mark and is coming off Saturday's 95-88 victory versus the Detroit Pistons at ORACLE Arena. Anthony Tolliver provided a big lift with 19 points and 14 rebounds off the bench, while rookie Stephen Curry totaled 27 points for the Warriors, who rallied from a 14-point deficit and played without leading scorer Monta Ellis because of a balky back. Ellis is questionable for Tuesday's game and center Andris Biedrins, who suffered a strained groin against Detroit, is doubtful. C.J. Watson added 17 points in the comeback victory for the Warriors. "That is just a typical thing of the Warriors, since I've been here," Watson said of the rally. "We go down by 20 points and end up coming back and winning the game or getting it close to getting back in position to win. It's just a thing we keep fighting, we never give up and it's a good thing for this team especially with our record and how many people we have." Miami defeated Golden State, 115-102, on January 13 this season by the Bay, as Wade netted 35 points on 10-of-15 shooting. The Heat have won three straight and 15 of the past 20 matchups in this series. Golden State has lost two of three and 12 of its last 14 at Miami.
