The Cleveland Cavaliers travel to South Beach to face the Miami Heat in the second of four scheduled meetings this season.
Both clubs last played Wednesday with the Cavaliers defeating the Magic 121-111 while the Heat pulled ahead in clutch time to beat the Raptors 112-103.
Season Series
Miami holds the all-time record having won 77 of the 127 meetings between the clubs although last season the clubs split their four-game regular-season series each taking two contests.
The Heat drubbed the Cavs 129-96 in their initial meeting this season on November 24th.
Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavs took on the red-hot (9-1) Magic on Wednesday and despite a strong performance from Paolo Banchero, it was Cleveland who came out on top. That improved their record to 5-8 against teams over .500.
Donovan Mitchell led the way with 35 points, seven rebounds, and six assists while Darius Garland served up 26 points and nine assists with no turnovers.
Cavaliers Stats
Through this point in the season, Cleveland ranks 22nd offensively (111.2), and eighth defensively (111.1) with a just barely positive net differential of +0.1 that ranks 19th overall.
Cleveland has performed well against the spread with an 11-8-1 record through 20 contests this season.
Cavaliers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Ricky Rubio, PG (OUT indefinitely—personal)
- Ty Jerome, PG (downgraded to OUT—ankle)
- Caris LeVert, SF (downgraded to OUT—knee)
- Evan Mobley, C (questionable —knee)
Miami Heat
Injuries have ravaged the Heat but the culture has kept them strong and they showcased that on Wednesday as Kyle Lowry returned to Toronto. It was a three-point game with three minutes remaining but then the Heat pulled away to cement the win.
Caleb Martin produced a double-double of 24 points (season-high) and 12 rebounds. The second half featured ‘the Robinson’s show’ as rookie Orlando registered a double-double of 15 points and 12 rebounds while Duncan scored 21 points.
Heat Stats
Miami ranks 12th offensively (114.8), and tied for 15th defensively (113.1) with a plus net differential of +1.7 which ranks 15th overall.
The Heat are more of a middling performer against the spread (arguably due to all the injuries they’ve played through) with an 11-10 record through 21 matches.

To summarize the injury report…
- Bam Adebayo, C (downgraded to OUT — hip)
- Duncan Robinson, PF (probable — groin)
- Haywood Highsmith, SF (downgraded to OUT — back)

Free Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Miami Heat NBA Prediction:
Miami is feeling the absence of Adebayo but the Heat arguably is the best at delivering on the ‘next man up’ philosophy particularly with their youngsters producing. They’ll be tested by the length of Cleveland but if Mobley can’t go it evens the playing field a bit.
I’m anticipating a low-scoring grind-out match and if that’s the case I like the Heat to edge out a win.
