Cavaliers vs Heat Predictions and Picks
Cleveland is currently sixth in points, 17th in points allowed, and ninth in point differential. Jarrett Allen leads the team in field goal percentage. The Cavs will be without some of their best players and some of the players are just making a healthy scratch night. Cleveland will need their scoring depth to be ready and work on points in the paint and getting to the free throw line more. The Cavs will look to get on an early offensive run, instead of having it happen in the fourth. Cleveland will need to do the little things right, with their main offensive guys out.
Miami is currently first in points, 24th in points allowed, and sixth in point differential. Powell leads the team in points per game. The Heat have won three games in a row and the offense is putting up 130 plus points a game. However, the defense has been trending down a bit, but this team is still finding ways to win. Despite some injuries of their own, they have won five games in a row at home and have the best offense in the league. Players like Powell and Jaime Jaquez Jr. have stepped up in the absence of Adebayo and Herro. The Heat will look to keep the momentum going from the last game and try and take advantage of a depleted Cleveland roster.
Best Bet: Over
The Cavaliers seem to be punting this game away, but they can still pile up points in the paint and get their field goal percentage up. The Heat are the highest scoring offense in the league but have given up a lot of points lately. It should be a game of runs again.
