Cavaliers vs Heat Prediction
We’ve been fading the Cavaliers all season as they’re 29-42-1 ATS on the season and they’re on the end of a back-to-back here. Not ideal. However, the Heat are back to their lousy ways. Right when it looked like the Heat were turning things around, they dropped five straight games and were back to not defending. The Heat are a mess and not a team I’m eager to back. Also, the Cavs have smoked the Heat in recent meetings dating back to last season’s playoffs. The line is soft. Give me the Cavs in another win over the Heat.
