The Heat were playing really good ball for a stretch but they are still under .500 and not really challenging in the Eastern Conference. This is a must win really.
Cleveland wrote off its season a long time ago. The natives have to to be getting a little restless but they have to be reasonable too. This team does not have much to work with.
Miami Heat
The Heat had won five in a row before the Raptors visited and put a halt to that streak. Since then they have only beaten Cleveland over their last two, an easy 24 point home win.

They are still going to be without Goran Dragic in this one. He had knee surgery and is not expected back til February. Dragic is a crafty and natural offensive player and without him they are not the same kind of offensive team.
Miami does have a wealth of perimeter talent but it is an interesting mix of old – Dwayne Wade – and still establishing players like Justicse Winslow, Josh Richardson and Tyler Johnson. They have even been experimenting with Winslow as a point guard.

This is a game where Hassan Whiteside should be able to be productive. His scoring is down for the second season in a row, and his free throw shooting has completely eroded to 44%. Still there is nobody on the Cavs who can really guard him.
They lost their last game so even though this is on the road it is a good spot to get right again.
Cleveland Cavaliers
It is one thing to be bad but another to be shorthanded. The Cavaliers are both right now. Their record speaks for itself and they are missing players that would be contributors in Tristan Thompson, Rodney Hood, and of course Kevin Love.
With all of those players out of the way it is a lot of Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. The former is leading in scoring and the latter in both rebounding and assists. I have always liked Nance but that is really a sign of the times as opposed to a rise to an elite level.

Colin Sexton and Cedi Osman are two players the Cavaliers are hoping can be a part of their long term future. If Osman can just become a better shooter he could really be a player in the league.
