Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Preview
The Cleveland Cavaliers have had mixed results so far this season as they’ve split their first 12 games, but they will be eager to build some momentum after they snapped a two-game skid with a 115-107 road win over the Knicks on Wednesday. James Harden led the team with 32 points on nine of 14 shooting, Donovan Mitchell added 23 points with seven rebounds and six assists while Jarrett Allen tallied 11 points with 14 rebounds. As a team, the Cavaliers shot 47 percent from the field and 15 of 38 from the 3-point line as they looked like they were in trouble after wasting a 12-point lead followed by another 11-point lead, before they closed the final 2:59 on an 11-4 run to earn just their second road win of the season so far.
Miami Heat Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Miami Heat have been a team on the rise lately as they’ve won five of their last seven games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after sneaking past the Jazz in a 115-109 road win on Tuesday. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 30 points, 11 rebounds and four assists, Davion Mitchell added 19 points with eight assists while Pelle Larsson chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the Heat shot just 39 percent from the field and 12 of 41 from the 3-point line as they got off to a solid start and dominated most of the game to lead by as many as 23 points in the fourth quarter, before they escaped with the narrow win after seeing their lead get cut to just five points with 47.7 seconds left on the clock. Klay Thompson had a rough game as he shot just three of 13 from the field to finish with 11 points, while Bam Adebayo shot just one of eight from the field for his 11 points.
Cleveland v Miami Free Prediction
The Cavaliers have ruled out Sam Merrill and Evan Mobley, while the Heat are keeping an eye on Klay Thompson and Pelle Larsson who are both questionable for this one.
The Cavaliers have yet to fully hit their stride this season, but they would’ve taken plenty of confidence from their win over the Knicks and they still have plenty of depth to cover Mobley if he sits out again. The Heat have been playing better basketball lately, but they were far from convincing in their narrow win over the Jazz on Tuesday and they could be missing two of their best floor spacers in Thompson and Larsson for this one. This should be a close one, but I’m not quite sold on the Heat, so I prefer a play on the Cavaliers as the underdogs in this spot.
Peter Tran's Pick: Cleveland +2.5
