Cleveland Cavaliers
After three losses in a row, the Cavs got back in the win column with their victory versus the Pistons. Things are not fixed however as the regression in recent weeks is evident, particularly defensively.
I still can’t shake how small the backcourt is and when the matchup is an opponent with guard size it’s problematic. That has me wondering if the Cavs will look for a wing defender at the deadline.

Miami Heat
The Jimmy Butler saga has reached a new level this week. Upon learning he wouldn’t start Butler left practice early and the Heat responded by suspending him indefinitely.
Rumor has it Pat Riley hasn’t been enchanted by any of the offers on the table. So things are basically at a standoff with the OG Riley facing off against the enigmatic Butler with one simple question – – who will flinch first?

Free NBA Prediction:
In recent history, the Heat have owned the Cavs on their homecourt taking 13 of the last 20. Ironically, Butler pairs up well to slow the Cavs guards and wings so Erik Spoelstra will need to find another solution if Miami wants to take advantage of the recent Cleveland funk.
Conversely, the Cavs have to look at a Butler-less Heat squad as ripe for the picking.

NBA Tweet Of The Day
Jimmy Butler posted this to his IG story. For those unfamiliar with this character from the ‘90s show Martin, Tommy was constantly sweated by friends for claiming to have a job. In fact, the correct verbiage was, “You ain’t got no job, man.” #ninetiesblacksitcomsforfivehundred pic.twitter.com/lTfx1DygE0
