Looking every bit the All-Star of old, O'Neal combined for 41 points and 16 rebounds in those contests, and it's him, not Dwyane Wade, that has the Hawks befuddled entering tonight's Game 4.

Atlanta is willing to concede certain things offensively to Wade, knowing no team has completely stopped the NBA's scoring champion. So the Hawks' defensive game plan is built around stopping Miami's supporting cast, like O'Neal, Udonis Haslem, Michael Beasley, and Daequan Cook.

The 5-point underdog Hawks have lost 12 straight postseason games on the road since 1997, including losing four games in Boston last year and the one in Miami on Saturday by a staggering average of 26.4 points.

If they win tonight, home-court advantage swings back to Atlanta. Get your NBA basketball odds in the Bodog Sportsbook.

Now, Wade is eager to make amends for his Game 1 performance and he'll get his chance tonight.

The Miami superstar scored just 19 points on Sunday and missed all but one of his six attempts outside the 3-point arc. Even worse, he equaled a season high with eight turnovers, more than double his average.
With Wade having an off-night, no one stepped up to fill the void.

Michael Beasley had 10 points and was the only other Miami player in double figures.

The 5-point favored Hawks know Wade will get it going since only once this season has he been held to less than 20 points in two consecutive games. Get your NBA Playoff odds with the Bodog Sportsbook.

The Miami Herald reported Monday that the Heat are taking a “wait-and-see” approach on whether to rest their starters against Atlanta. Dwyane Wade and Jamario Moon (groin, abdomen) were specifically named as candidates to take off the last two games of the season. They’d join Jermaine O’Neal (calf) and Udonis Haslem (hand) on the sidelines.

At the other end, the Hawks are expected to give the following players “plenty” of floor time, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Speedy Claxton, Solomon Jones, Mario West, Randolph Morris, Thomas Gardner, and Othello Hunter.

Wade had 29 points and eight assists in the loss to the Cavs, and 21 points and 12 assists in Miami's victory. The Cavs are 3.5-point favorites in this one.

Wade topped his previous career best of 48 points with 50 on Sunday, but it wasn’t enough to counter the balanced attack of Orlando. The rest of the Heat players know they have to step up for Miami to snap out of its 4-7 funk since Jan. 30.

Facing the reeling Pistons could be the answer for the Heat. Detroit has lost 15 of 20 since Jan. 10, including six straight for the first time since 2004. The Pistons haven’t had a longer skid since they dropped seven in a row in 2003.

The 4.5-point underdog Pistons have won 17 of their last 20 regular-season meetings with the Heat, including six straight.

Detroit has lost nine of its last 12 games both SU and ATS, and the road ahead could get even bumpier after Stuckey suffered a thigh contusion Sunday against the Cavaliers. He should be all right to play, but the Pistons will need a strong performance Wednesday against the visiting Miami Heat (26-21 SU, 22-23-2 ATS). Miami is 4-2 SU and ATS in its last six and getting four points (-105) at the Palace.
