Heat try to solve Bucks at Bradley Center
Basketball Betting Lines
02/13/2012 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Heat resume a hectic three games in three nights
stretch tonight when they hit the hardwood at Bradley Center vs. the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Heat kicked off their tough journey and improved to 2-1 on a season-long
six-game road trip in Atlanta on Sunday when Dwyane Wade scored all 21 of his
points in a lopsided first half, as Miami cruised past the Hawks, 107-87, in a
Southeast Division showdown.
LeBron James chipped in 23 points, 13 rebounds and six assists, while Chris
Bosh added 14 points and 16 boards for Miami, which was able to rest Wade and
James for the entire fourth quarter and Bosh for all but 5:17.
The division-leading Heat led by as many as 32 against the second-place Hawks.
They outscored them at the foul line, 26-6 and won the battle on the glass,
52-38.
"It's a great way to start [the three games in as many nights stretch] by
being able to get some rest for our big guys," James said.
The Heat, who are now 9-5 as the visitor on the season, will visit Indiana on
Tuesday before concluding their trek in Cleveland later in the week.
Miami in now tied with Chicago for the fewest losses in the East and has a
three-game lead over Atlanta in the Southeast but it has been unable to handle
the Bucks so far this season. Milwaukee has won three straight over the Heat,
including both matchups so far this season.
The Bucks opened a three-game homestand in losing fashion on Saturday, falling
to Orlando 99-94.
Drew Gooden scored 21 points and pulled down eight rebounds in the loss while
Ersan Ilyasova had 17 points and 16 boards as Milwaukee had its two-game
winning streak snapped.
"We did a pretty good job for 42 minutes and then those guys got hot," said
the Bucks' Mike Dunleavy. "The rest is history and unfortunately we let one
get away."
Milwaukee, which is 7-5 at BC, will close out is residency against New Orleans
on Wednesday.
The Bucks will be aiming to sweep the seasons series tonight.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson
JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
