Heat vs Cavaliers prediction

The Cleveland Cavaliers are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but this is a toss up game for me. The Heat will be without Robinson, Herro and Love, and Butler is questionable. The Cavs are still without Mitchell, Wade, Mobley and Strus. The Heat and Cavaliers are missing a lot of key production, and it makes this is a tough game to get involved with. That’s why I’m going to grab the free bucket and take my chances if forced to pick.
