Portland plays the second of its four-game road trip tonight. On Monday, Zach Randolph scored 22 points and grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds, as the Trail Blazers beat the Miami Heat, 89-81, at AmericanAirlines Arena.

Derek Anderson finished with 20 points and Damon Stoudamire netted 18 points for Portland, which won its fourth straight to reach the .500 mark (28-28) for the first time since December 31.

The Blazers are 3-15 when they allow at least 100 points this season.

Randolph has scored in double digits in 20 of his last 22 games. He is averaging 24.5 points and 13.5 rebounds in his last two contests.

Portland, which has won two straight and eight of its last 10 on the road, is 10-18 as the visitor this season.
