NBA: Thursday's play

Play: L.A. Clippers -4 -105

Time: 8 p.m. ET

Reasoning: Dwayne Wade is doubtful (hamstring), Luol Deng is questionable (wrist) and Justin Hamilton (abdominal) and Josh McRoberts (foot) also are questionable for Miami, which isn't a deep team to begin with (26.6 bench points per game). Norris Cole has taken over for Wade, who has missed the last three games and who was limited at practice on Wednesday. Los Angeles played last night, but it should not be dealing with much fatigue because no one played more than 30 minutes in a 114-90 rout of the Magic. Against Orlando the Clippers were 12-of-21 on threes. They also got a big boost from their bench as Jamal Crawford, Jordan Farmar and Spencer Hawes combined for 45 points and went 7-of-9 from 3-point range. Crawford, who went 8-of-12 en route to a team-high 22 points, is 18-of-29 over the last two games. L.A. also has a big advantage in the blocked shots department.

Record: 211-159-8 (57.0%)
Bankroll: +118.56%
