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.

In terms of sports wagering, the NFL is "the most popular game in town." The explanation behind that is easy.
It is called the "pointspread."
Many years ago, NFL games, as well as the more popular college games, used straight odds as a vehicle for betting. For example, if the Bears were playing the Giants, and it shaped up as a competitive contest, the Bears might be, say, a 7/5 favorite. If they were playing an also-ran, it might be 10/1. Well, there is a point where a line becomes prohibitive, as far as betting the favorite. And who would waste money betting an underdog that has virtually no chance? Such a setup did not contribute to promoting betting action.
But in modern sports betting, a "pointspread" is used.
A NFL pointspreads are exactly that, a pre-established point difference between the two sides that will, for all intents and purposes, create a handicap that evens things out, and in doing so, produces comparable wagering activity on both sides of that proposition. So in lieu of a odds figure in which to bet the team to win outright, the Bears might be a three-point favorite over the New York Giants, and a 17-point favorite over the also-ran. Now that the team that is the underdog can "get" points, there can be equal action on both sides.
In sportsbooks, this is usually done with efficiency by charging the losing bettors 10% extra - in effect, bettors are laying 11/10 on those games. So they are actually betting $110 to win $100. If they lose, they pay the "vig." If they win, they simply collect.
The establishment of the pointspread as the corner stone around which team sports like football can be wagered upon was truly what brought gridiron betting into the stratosphere for online football betting .
