Cavaliers vs. Heat Pick
Cavaliers vs. Heat Spread Pick
- Cavaliers -6.5 (4 units)
Both teams are playing their third game in four nights and their fourth game in six nights here, so fatigue will take a toll on both squads. Miami is a perfect 4-0 at home this season, but playing without Adebayo is concerning for them. That is accentuated by the fact that Herro is still out for at least another few weeks at this stage, taking two proven scoring options out of the mix. Cleveland has been inconsistent on the road, and they have dealt with injury issues as Mitchell, Allen, Garland and Merrill have all missed time already, while Strus has yet to suit up for the year. The Cavaliers are a solid offensive team, and that, coupled with the Heat’s injury situation, takes Cleveland in this contest.
Cavaliers vs. Heat Over/Under Pick
- Under 246.5 (4 units)
Cleveland stands 7th in the league in scoring offense, 8th in offensive efficiency and 9th in tempo with an average of 102 possessions per game. The Cavaliers have stayed under the number in five of their 10 games and have stayed under the mark in two of five road games this season. Miami has seen the over hit in six of their 10 games this season, including two of their four home games. The Heat stand second in the league in points per game, 13th in offensive efficiency, and first in tempo with 105.9 possessions a game. We have two explosive offensive teams, but this game winds up falling short of the total without Adebayo in the mix
