Cavaliers vs Heat Injury Report

The Miami Heat will be without Nikola Jovic, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Andrew Wiggins, and Dru Smith. Davion Mitchell is questionable for the Heat with a quad injury.

Cavaliers vs Heat Prediction

The Heat have an edge with the rest advantage, but they’ve also had issues competing with the big boys this season, and they’re undermanned with so many injuries. The Cavs may be on the end of a back-to-back, but they have 51 wins on the season and 40 covers. The Cavs have a cover percentage of 66.6 percent, which is the best in the NBA. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. The Cavs beat the Heat a little over a month ago on the road by 20 points. The Heat had Jovic, Ware, and JJJ in that game, which won’t be the case tonight. I’ll keep riding the Cavs, as they continue to cash tickets better than any team in the league.
