The Miami Heat (24-24) are once again a .500 team and back home at the AmericanAirlines Arena tonight to host the Golden State Warriors (23-24) after a pair of road wins against the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers helped undo the damage caused from their recent six-game slide.
Most exciting tonight will be the expected debut of Victor Oladipo, who was acquired last week at the NBA trade deadline but who hasn’t been able to play for his new team yet due to illness. How coach Erik Spoelstra will incorporate the former All-Star into the rotation will be very interesting to watch, though Oladipo may not play extended minutes if he’s still on the mend.
