(Sportsbooks) - Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat will resume a five-game road trip on Monday against the Golden State Warriors at ORACLE Arena. The Heat have lost three of four overall and fell to 1-2 on the current trek following Saturday's 97-96 setback to the lowly Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center. NBA leading scorer Wade had 26 points and 11 helpers for the Heat, who will also visit the Utah Jazz. Wade is averaging a league-high 28.2 points per game. Rookie Michael Beasley ended with 24 points and five boards off the bench while Udonis Haslem netted 18 points in defeat. Beasley started the first 15 games of the season but came off the bench for the second straight game. Golden State has lost six in a row and went winless on a recent five-game road trip. In Saturday's 138-125 loss to the New York Knicks in a scoring fest at Madison Square Garden, Corey Maggette tied a season-high with 32 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for the Warriors. Jamal Crawford had 21 points, 10 rebounds and five assists against his former team and C.J. Watson had 23 points in a losing cause. Warriors guard Steven Jackson missed the game with an injured wrist and is doubtful for Monday. He leads Golden State in scoring at 21.4 points per game. The Warriors are averaging 104.6 points per game this season, but are giving up an NBA-high 109.1 ppg. Miami, which lost both meetings with the Warriors last season, has won six of nine and 12 of the previous 17 matchups in the series. These two teams have split the last six encounters in Oakland. |
