Miami, FL (My Sportsbook) - The Miami Heat attempt to win their third straight game tonight, as they welcome Atlantic Division rival Orlando to AmericanAirlines Center.

The Heat are tied with the Toronto Raptors for ninth place in the Eastern Conference, just 1/2 game behind both Boston and Cleveland.

This is the third meeting of the season between the two clubs. Miami has won the two previous contests, picking up a win at home and at the TD Waterhouse Centre.

On Saturday, Lamar Odom posted 30 points, 19 rebounds and 11 assists en route to the first Heat triple-double in nine years to lead the Heat over the Sacramento Kings, 102-96, in front of their home crowd.
