The Miami Heat will look to remain unbeaten at home as they host Brandon Roy and the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday.  The Heat have won their first three games at home this season by an average of 18 points per game.  The big reason the Heat are winning at home this year is Dwyane Wade.  He had 33 points in Monday's win against New Jersey.

 "Did you see the fourth? I mean, wow," said Miami rookie forward Michael Beasley, "(Wade's) such a great player and he showed again tonight, even when he's sluggish for the first two, three quarters, he's going to finish with a bang."

The Heat are hoping to get Shawn Marion back on Wednesday after he missed Monday's game.  Marion is averaging 18.7 points and 9.8 rebounds per game in his career against Portland. SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Heat at Home.
