(SportsNetwork. Penguins Jerseys China .com) - The Miami Heat are in good shape when Chris Bosh scores at least 30 points. The Heat hope Bosh can have an encore performance from his recent outing when they visit the Los Angeles Lakers Tuesday. Bosh made 13-of-20 from the field en route to 34 points in Sundays 104-90 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers and has recorded four 30-point efforts this season. Bosh scored 30-plus points only twice in 2013-14. With LeBron James back in Cleveland, Bosh has taken on more of a scoring load for the Heat, who rebounded from last Thursdays loss at Portland in the opener of a five-game western sojourn. Dwyane Wade ended with 17 points, 10 assists and four rebounds against the Clippers, while Hassan Whiteside stepped up to the tune of 23 points and 16 boards off the bench. Hassan had a terrific game, said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. His confidence is rising. Hes putting in the time. The Heat held an 86-76 advantage heading into the final period and are 15-2 when leading after three quarters. The Clippers cut the lead down to 97-90 with two minutes to go, but Miami tightened up its defense to win for the second time in the last seven tries. Miami evened its road mark at 9-9 and will also visit Golden State and Sacramento after this brief tour through Hollywood. The Lakers are 1-1 on a four-game homestand and sustained a 106-94 loss to Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. With leading scorer Kobe Bryant (23.0 ppg) resting for a second straight game, Wesley Johnson led the home team with 17 points and Jordan Hill added 14. Carlos Boozer provided 13 points and nine rebounds for Los Angeles, which opened the homestand with a win over Orlando and lost for the 10th time in the previous 14 tries. We competed, Im proud of that. We didnt run out of gas, Lakers coach Byron Scott said. Scott said after practice Monday that he will have to talk to Bryant to see if he can play versus the Heat. According to Scott, Bryant has to be rested and ready to go before getting back on the court. The greatest thing about this is that he trusts me and he knows I got his best interests at heart, Scott said. I want him to do the very best that he can but I want him to be the best basketball player he can be. Bryant is questionable Tuesday and has posted an average of 24.8 points in 31 career games (26 starts) against the Heat. Bryant delivered 42 points against Miami back on Christmas of 2004. Los Angeles and Miami will play the first of two matchups this season and will meet again March 4 in South Beach. The Heat took both games against the Lakers last season and have won four straight and eight of the last nine encounters. The Lakers, who will close this homestand Thursday versus Cleveland and have a 4-0 record as the host against teams from the East, are 19-7 all-time at home versus the Heat.

Problems with his lower back last year forced Oosthuizen to miss more events than he wanted to, and to withdraw after three rounds of the Byron Nelson Championship, after a first-round 75 at the U.S. Open, and most disappointingly to him, after six holes in the British Open, an event he won in 2010. That began a layoff of almost three months until he returned for the International team at the Presidents Cup in October. He played all four of the European Tours season-ending events and managed a best finish of 15th in Shanghai. While Oosthuizen is not prepared to look beyond the Masters, where he was runner-up to Bubba Watson in 2012, he has prepared a busy schedule starting with his defence this week of the Volvo Champions title on home turf at Durban Country Club. This is his first of eight tournaments in the next nine weeks, spread over Africa, the Middle East, and the United States. "I had some injections in my lower back last October that seem to have helped," Oosthuizen said on Wednesday. "The good thing is I am playing pain-free and I am doing a lot of things to get it better. But the pain iis definitely still there and its not going to go away, and its going to take a lot of time. Pittsburgh Penguins Store. "Its meant Ive had to cut down my practice on the range, and while Im taking the occasional antiinflammatory, its just one of those things I have to deal with." Oosthuizen must wish he had the constitution of Miguel Angel Jimenez or even Darre Clarke. Jimenez returns to competition after turning 50 last Sunday and looking to again break his "oldest ever" tour record he re-set last month in capturing a third Hong Kong Open title. "Yes, I turned 50 a few days ago and I look in the mirror and still see the same guy," the Spaniard joked. "So I come here looking to win, win, win as that is my continuing motivation. For me, coming to play on the tour is not just to get a salary. If so, I would stay at home." Clarke, 14 years older than Oosthuizen at 45, has lost around 40 pounds since October in a bid to rekindle his form. He hasnt won anything since the 2011 British Open. "In a short time Im already twice as strong because most people who lose weight, they lose strength, as well," Clarke said, showing off a trimmer figure. "Ive gone the other way. Ive lost weight and gone twice as strong." ' ' '
