(My Sportsbook) - The Los Angeles Clippers will try to put the brakes on a pair of losing streaks Monday night when they resume a lengthy seven-game road trip against the Miami Heat at AmericanAirlines Arena.

The Clippers have dropped five straight overall, including the first two tests of this road swing, and nine in a row away from Staples Center. In Saturdays 106-94 setback at Washington, Eric Gordon had 25 points and Steve Novak added 15. Baron Davis also notched 17 points for Los Angeles, which lost at Cleveland in the opener of the swing and is 5-17 as the guest this season.

Los Angeles will also visit Orlando, Memphis, Atlanta and Charlotte.

Meanwhile, Miami has lost two straight and will close out a brief two-game homestand Monday versus the Clippers. The Heat suffered a 111-96 loss versus the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday despite Dwyane Wades 30 points. Rookie Michael Beasley ended with 18 points and 10 boards for Miami, which is 15-8 in South Beach in 2008-09.

Mario Chalmers registered 17 points in a losing effort. On the injury front for Miami, guard Daequan Cook (thigh) and forward Shawn Marion (groin) are doubtful for tonight.

The Clippers beat the Heat, 97-96, on November 29 this season at Staples Center and have won four of the previous five meetings. Miami has won nine of 13 as the host in this series.
