Antawn Jamison bounced back from an ugly debut with the Cleveland Cavaliers with a much better performance in his last game. However, he is still looking for his first win with his new teammates. Jamison could be in the Cavaliers’ starting lineup for the first time as they look to avoid their first four-game losing streak in more than two years Tuesday night when they host the New Orleans Hornets.Cleveland acquired Jamison last week from Washington to give itself another scoring threat alongside LeBron James. Jamison, who averaged 20.5 points with the Wizards, was on the bench after failing to be cleared in time for an overtime loss to Denver on Thursday and then went 0 for 12 from the field in a 110-93 defeat to Charlotte on Friday.

He was much more effective Sunday in a 101-95 loss at Orlando, scoring 19 points on 9 of 14 shooting with eight rebounds. Coach Mike Brown is leaning toward giving Jamison his first start Tuesday. The two-time All-Star played well Sunday with starters Mo Williams, Shaquille O’Neal, Anthony Parker and James. The three straight losses follow a 13-game winning streak for the Cavaliers, who haven’t dropped four in a row since a six-game skid Nov. 28-Dec. 8, 2007. While the losing streak coincides with Jamison’s addition, he hasn’t been the only one struggling.

With Paul Pierce and Tracy McGrady both battling injuries, Tuesday’s matchup between the Boston Celtics and visiting New York Knicks may be without two of its biggest names. Nate Robinson probably won’t object to having more of the spotlight. The diminutive new Celtic is expected to make his debut with Boston against the team that traded him away last week and the coach that benched him for an extended stretch earlier this season. Robinson averaged 17.2 points for New York last season, and the 5-foot-9 guard has won many fans by capturing three slam dunk championships.

Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni, though, left him on the bench for 14 straight games in December, and the team finally dealt him to Boston along with Marcus Landry before Thursday’s trade deadline, getting Eddie House, J.R. Giddens and Bill Walker —along with salary cap space this summer—in return. An illness has delayed his debut, but Robinson may have preferred to make it a more dramatic one. D’Antoni explained the benching Jan. 1 by saying that the Knicks—currently losers of seven straight—were “trying to get focused on winning.” Victories are certainly what the Celtics have in mind, and they’ll be tougher to get if Pierce is out.

The Portland Trail Blazers built what appeared to be an insurmountable lead in their last game, only to see it evaporate. That seems unlikely to happen against the NBA-worst New Jersey Nets. The Trail Blazers have a chance to open a five-game road trip in strong fashionTuesday night when they face the Nets, who are on the cusp of a franchise record for home futility. Portland took a 25-point lead in the third quarter against Utah on Sunday, but wasted it and fell 93-89 in overtime. The disheartening defeat came two nights after the Trail Blazers shot a season-low 33.8 percent in a 96-76 loss to Boston.

Portland should be in ideal position to end its funk as it faces the Nets, losers of 11 of 12 overall and seven in a row in New Jersey. The home skid matches the club record set from Jan. 6-Feb. 3, 1978, for the second time this season. The Blazers, in eighth place in the Western Conference, have won three consecutive games at the Izod Center. They defeated the Nets 93-83 at the Rose Garden on Nov. 25.

The Miami Heat received some good news regarding Dwyane Wade’s injury over the weekend. Unfortunately for them, he is still likely to miss at least another game. Wade is expected to sit out a third straight contest when the Heat host the Minnesota Timberwolves onTuesday night . Miami had its five-game winning streak snapped in a 97-91 loss to Dallas on Saturday that closed five-game road trip. The Heat played for the second straight time without Wade, who has been sidelined with a strained left calf. Miami won the first, defeating Memphis 100-87 in double overtime Friday.

Wade wore a protective boot as he watched the defeat to the Mavericks, but further tests Sunday revealed the injury was less severe than first thought and he was cleared to remove the boot. Miami said Wade will continue to undergo treatment and is considered day-to-day. He was not listed in the starting lineup for Tuesday posted on the Heat’s official Web site. Wade is averaging 26.1 points and 6.4 assists, and the Heat are trying to maintain a slim lead for the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference without their leading scorer.

When his team fell to Oklahoma City two months ago, Phoenix Suns coach Alvin Gentry said not to underestimate the Thunder. It’s unlikely any team will do that anymore. The Thunder will go for the franchise’s first 10-game winning streak in 13 seasonsTuesday night when they host the Suns. Led by 38 points from Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City snapped a nine-game losing streak to the Suns with a 117-113 victory in Phoenix on Dec. 23. Durant, 21, has developed into one of the league’s top scorers, averaging 29.8 points - second to LeBron James’ 30.0 per game. Durant scored 10 of his 32 in the final 2:20 of Sunday’s 109-107 victory in Minnesota for his 28th straight game with 25 or more points. It is the longest such streak since Michael Jordan’s 40-game run in 1986-87.

Another victory would give the Thunder franchise its first 10-game winning streak since the Seattle SuperSonics won 11 straight from Nov. 7-24, 1996. Oklahoma City has averaged 104.9 points during this win streak, but is facing a Suns team that’s playing better defense of late. Phoenix, which has won eight of 10 following a 2-7 stretch, is giving up 106.4 points per game this season - third-most in the league - but has held its last two opponents below 90.

Kobe Bryant couldn’t take the last-second shot in the defending champions’ last game, but he might have the ball in his hands if there’s a similar situation Tuesday. With Bryant possibly set to return after missing the last five games with a sprained left ankle, the well-rested Los Angeles Lakers visit the Memphis Grizzlies. Bryant, who hasn’t played since Feb. 5, was receiving treatment in the Lakers’ training room Thursday when Derek Fisher missed a 21-footer as time expired in an 87-86 loss to visiting Boston.

Pau Gasol, who had 22 points, refused to use Bryant’s absence as an excuse. The Lakers have not played the last four days and the time off could be enough to get Bryant back in the lineup for the Western Conference-leading Lakers, who are 4-1 without the 12-time All-Star. Bryant, 34 points shy of passing Reggie Miller for 13th all-time in scoring, is averaging 38.0 in his last five games in Memphis. After scoring 41 in a 114-98 home win over the Grizzlies on Nov. 6, Bryant matched a season high with 44 and passed Jerry West as the Lakers’ all-time leading scorer in a 95-93 loss at FedEx Forum on Feb. 1. Swarmed by Grizzlies defenders in the final seconds, Bryant passed to Ron Artest, who missed a 3-pointer as the Lakers had their four-game winning streak in Memphis snapped.

Ben Gordon’s last game against the Sacramento Kings is probably one he’d like to forget. His most recent performance, however, is one he’s hoping to repeat. Gordon and the Pistons begin a four-game road trip against teams from the Western Conference when they take on the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night. The oft-injured Gordon had one of his better games of the last two months Sunday, scoring 21 points while shooting 57.1 percent in Detroit’s 109-101 overtime win over San Antonio. The victory was the Pistons’ second in the last five games.

Gordon, who has missed 19 games this season because of ankle and groin issues, had been held to single digits in scoring the four previous games, during which he shot 24.2 percent. Included in that stretch was an 0-for-8 performance in a 103-97 home loss to Sacramento on Feb. 10. Gordon scored 10 points between the fourth quarter and overtime Sunday, hitting four free throws in the final 20 seconds.Gordon, who averaged 24.3 points in four previous games against Sacramento, will try to put up back-to-back games of 10 points or more for the first time since early January when he and the Pistons begin their trip Tuesday.

A December matchup with the Golden State Warriors allowed the Philadelphia 76ers to stop their longest losing streak since 2006-07. The 76ers, who will be without Allen Iverson, hope their second meeting with the Warriors will help them rebound from their most lopsided defeat since that same season. Philadelphia tries to snap a four-game slide in Oakland on Tuesday night as the Warriors go for their fourth win in five home games. The 76ers ended their first 12-game skid since Nov. 25-Dec. 20, 2006, with a 117-101 victory over Golden State on Dec. 14. Thaddeus Young had 26 points and 14 rebounds while Allen Iverson added 20 points.

Philadelphia, loser of three of four since a season-high five-game winning streak, will now be trying to get back on track after opening its four-game trip with a 122-90 loss to Chicago on Saturday. The Sixers, who did not convert a field goal during an 8:14 stretch that bridged the second and third quarters, suffered their worst loss since a 124-74 defeat to Houston on March 18, 2007.
