Cleveland Cavaliers vs Miami Heat Prediction NBA Picks 3/24/24

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat meet Sunday in NBA action at the Kaseya Center. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Cavaliers vs Heat prediction.

Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been in a rut as they've lost five of their last seven games overall and they will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting beaten by the Timberwolves in a 104-91 road defeat on Friday. Darius Garland led the team with 19 points, Caris LeVert added 16 points with six assists while Jarrett Allen chipped in with 15 points, 13 rebounds and five assists. As a team, the Cavaliers shot just 42 percent from the field and seven of 29 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in control when they took the narrow lead into halftime, but that all changed in the second half where they got outscored by 58-42 as they just couldn't make their 3-point shots, especially Garland who finished with zero of six shooting from behind the arc.

Miami Heat

Meanwhile, the Miami Heat have been struggling a bit lately as they've lost six of their last nine games overall and they will be hoping for a better performance after getting run off the floor by the Pelicans in a 111-88 loss on Friday. Jimmy Butler led the team with 17 points and five assists, Cole Swider added 14 points off the bench while Bam Adebayo tallied 12 points with 10 rebounds and two blocks. As a team, the Heat shot just 36 percent from the field and a miserly 13 of 47 from the 3-point line as they showed plenty of grit to keep pace with the Pelicans in the first half, but their lack of offense caught up to them in the second half where they got outscored by 65-46 to suffer their biggest defeat of the season.
