HEAT vs TRAILBLAZERS Watch Live Stream Online & Listen: Live Coverage from Rose Garden Portland Oregon

Yesterday at 10 PM ET the Portland TrailBlazers (24-5) host the two-time defending NBA champions Miami Heat (22-7) which could be without four-time MVP LeBron James. The game played at the Rose Garden in Portland, Oregon could be watched online here. Miami fans could follow the action through radio broadcast on WAXY Radio while Portland fans could do the same by listening to Fox Sports Radio.

The Heat were surprised the previous night by the Sacramento Kings who recovered from a 17-point deficit to stun the defending champions, 108-103 in Sacramento, California. The loss snapped the six-game winning streak of the Heat, which played without guards Dwyane Wade and Ray Allen and big man Chris Andersen.

Now the Heat faced the prospects of missing the services of their most important player, James, who had 33 points, eight rebounds and eight assists against the Kings. James strained his right groin and is a game-time decision for Miami.

"It's not feeling too well right now," James told ESPN.com. The reigning MVP scored 11 of the Heat's 19 points in the overtime period after getting hot from 3-point range. "I don't know what happened in the first half. I played [much of] the second half and overtime, and strained my groin. I'll see how I feel on our trip to Portland tonight and into tomorrow. But it ain't feeling too good right now."

Without the James, the Heat could have had their hands full defending the Blazers, one of the best offensive teams this season. Leading the way was MVP candidate LaMarcus Aldridege, who is averaging 24.8 points in his last six games against the Heat. The Blazers also have the explosive Damian Lillard and defensive stalwart Nicolas Batum.
