The Cleveland Cavaliers (7-4) visit the Miami Heat (7-4) tonight at Kaseya Center for a matchup between two teams tied in a tight early-season Eastern Conference race.
This game is a rematch of Monday night’s overtime thriller, where the Heat edged out the Cavs 140-138. That loss snapped Cleveland’s four-game winning streak, a run in which they averaged 131.3 points per game.
Norman Powell led the Heat on Monday with 33 points, followed by Andrew Wiggins with 23. Kel’el Ware stepped in for the injured Bam Adebayo and dominated the paint with 20 rebounds and 14 points.
Cleveland’s core trio of Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Darius Garland combined for 60 points in Monday’s loss — but none of them will be available tonight, all sidelined due to injuries or rest.
That gives Miami a clear advantage. It’s difficult to see the Cavs keeping pace while shorthanded, especially against the NBA’s highest-scoring offense at 125.5 points per game.
The Heat have won three straight and appear well-positioned to extend that streak to four.
Prediction
With Cleveland’s depleted roster and Miami’s home-court edge, the Heat hold the upper hand.
Prediction: Heat 128, Cavaliers 112
