The Miami Heat take on the Los Angeles Clippers in a rematch of Wednesday's blowout victory in Beijing. This is the second and final game of their trip to China and the team will leave immediately for home afterwards. The Heat's next game will be their preseason home debut on Thursday, October 18 against the Detroit Pistons.
Superstar point guard (and LeBron's good friend) Chris Paul will return after recovering from a thumb surgery to lead the Clippers, giving them a big advantage at point guard over Norris Cole, who is replacing the injured Mario Chalmers in the starting lineup. Dwyane Wade is also expected to play in his second game back from offseason surgery. Udonis Haslem and Joel Anthony are questionable for tonight.
