Miami Heat Team Facts

  • The Heat have won each of their last 11 games as favorites following a home loss.
  • The favorites have covered the spread in 10 of the last 11 games between the Cavaliers and Heat at Kaseya Center.
  • Each of the Heat’s last seven games against opponents who are on the first leg of a back-to-back have gone UNDER the total points line.

Cleveland Cavaliers Team Facts

  • The Cavaliers have lost each of their last 17 games at Kaseya Center following a loss.
  • The Cavaliers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six road games on the first leg of a back-to-back against the Heat.
  • Nine of the Cavaliers’ last 10 road games against Eastern Conference opponents have gone UNDER the total points line.

Cavaliers vs Heat prediction

The Heat should be favored at home, and they need all the wins they can get to avoid the play-in tournament. The Heat beat the Cavaliers a couple of days ago on the road as an underdog. The Cavs are also banged up with no Wade, Mitchell, and Mobley. However, the Heat Robinson, Love and Herro, and Jaquez Jr. and Martin are questionable. There’s just too many injuries and question marks to lay chalk in this spot. Also, the Heat still have issues with consistency and have these moments where they don’t look interested. It’s the points or pass for me.
