They are winless in three straight on the road and suffered a 103-87 loss to the Grizzlies Sunday despite Dwyane Wades 25 points on 11-of-20 shooting. Josh McRoberts (14), Luol Deng (13), Chris Bosh (12) and Mario Chalmers (12) were other Heat players to score in double figures.

Wade has scored 20 or more points in each of the last nine games, his longest streak since reaching that mark from Feb. 23-March 17, 2013. Wade has shot at least 50 percent from the field in 11 consecutive games. Miami still has Denver and Utah to visit on this trip and is 5-5 away from home.

The Clippers scored 31 points on 17 Phoenix turnovers. The Suns fell short of making 50 percent from the field (48.4) and are unbeaten in the previous 26 games when reaching that mark. Phoenix is 6-4 at home and has five players averaging at least 14 points (Bledsoe, Dragic, Isaiah Thomas, Morris, Green). Thomas has been bothered by a an ankle bruise and has missed seven straight games. He is questionable Tuesday. The Suns and Heat will play the first of two meetings this season and are scheduled to tangle again March 2 in south Florida.
