Cleveland Cavaliers
In an old school defensive style battle it was the Cavaliers balanced scoring from their starting five that was the difference in the front side of the baseball set.
All five starters registered double-digit contributions led by Darius Garland who dropped in 25 points. Jarrett Allen had his hands full dealing with Bam Adebayo but served up a double-double of 15 points and 12 rebounds.
Season Stats
Offensively, Cleveland scores 11.9 points per game ranking 25th while shooting 48.8% from the field and 36.3% on the perimeter ranking sixth and 13th respectively.
Overall, Cleveland tops the league for opponent scoring limiting foes to an average of 106.5 points per game. Cavs opponents shoot 46.5% from the field and 36.9% from deep ranking sixth and 22nd.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Mamadi Diakite, (Out G League – Two-Way)
- Isaiah Mobley, (Out G League – Two-Way)
- Dylan Windler, (Out G League – On Assignment)
Miami Heat
Offense and lack of depth remain a very real issue for the Heat as demonstrated in the loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday. Miami rode the shoulders of Jimmy Butler who offered 28 points, five rebounds, five assists, a steal, and two blocks.
Of course Butler needs help and although Tyler Herro (22) and Adebayo (17) also collected double-figures no one else reached broke double-digits.
Moreover, Adebayo got schooled by his counterpart Allen as Bam grabbed just a single rebound.
Stats
On the negative side is the Heat offense which is anemic, they score 108.3 points per game ranking 30th while shooting 45.3% from the field also ranking dead last while they shoot 33.6% from the perimeter ranking 28th.
Defensively, the Heat allow opponents to score 109.1 points per game ranking second overall. Miami opponents shoot 47.9% from the field and 36.6% from the perimeter ranking 21st and 20th respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Omer Yurtseven C (OUT indefinitely — ankle)
- Nikola Jovic SF (OUT indefinitely, — back)
- Kyle Lowry G (downgraded to OUT—knee)

Free Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Miami Heat NBA Prediction:
I keep thinking of how tough this Miami squad is and how they’ll be dangerous in a half court playoff setting, but the more I watch this team struggle to score and witness the lack of depth I wonder if Pat Riley needs to reassess his choice to never tank.
Miami needs an infusion of talent to bolster the trio of Butler, Adebayo, and Herro who are a strong foundation but not nearly enough to contend with the likes of the Bucks, Celtics, and 76ers.
The question is whether their veteran experience would help if they were able to climb up to fifth and matchup versus the Cavs. This game should offer some insight to that question.
