The Cleveland Cavaliers (43-27) traveled to the Miami Heat (38-32). This game is expected to be close. The Heat have won two out of the three regular-season matchups this year. And the Cavs are not playing to their full potential at the moment. Meanwhile, the Heat continue to show why Eric Spoelstra is one of the best coaches of all time.
But for tonight, do you think the Cavaliers have a chance of getting a win on the road against the Heat?

Key Stats
Cleveland Cavaliers
Cleveland will have a rough time in general until everyone gets back. But Donovan Mitchell is looking to finish this season strong with this Cleveland Cavaliers team. Through his play, when he returns, many would expect them to go far. But in the meantime, Darius Garland is the more consistent scoring option. Garland averages 18.7 points per game. Furthermore, Chris LeVert is someone to watch for against the Miami Heat. LeVert averages 14.0 points per game.
Miami Heat
This Miami Heat team is good. It doesn’t matter who’s available or who isn’t even playing well for them. Jimmy Butler remains one of the best leaders in the NBA. Butler averages 21.5 points per game. Additionally, Bam Adebayo is a force to be reckoned with in the frontcourt. Adebayo averages 19.7 points per game and 10.6 rebounds per game. Furthermore, Terry Rozier is someone to watch, as he is consistently scoring in double figures. Rozier averages 19.9 points per game.

Game Prediction
This line is favoring the Cleveland Cavaliers by too many points. Yes, this line indicates that the Heat are expected to win and should win. But I don’t see the Cavaliers keeping it this close. Therefore, I see this iteration of the Heat team getting a fairly convincing win against the Cavaliers today. If both sides are at full health, then you would consider even taking Cleveland on the money line. However, this is not the case, and reality says that the Miami Heat will cover the spread today.
Final Pick
Miami Heat -4
