Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
Sunday in the NBA sees the Miami Heat hosting the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Kaseya Center for this Eastern Conference battle. The Heat come into this one sitting sixth at 11-10 while the Cavaliers are top of the standings with the NBA’s best record at 21-3. Let’s get into the match prediction!
Following their big 41-point win over the Lakers, the Heat were able to successfully make it two wins in a row after beating the Suns 121-111 last night. They’ll be hoping these two victories can act as a catalyst to spark a winning streak as they remain just one game above .500 after the first quarter of the season.
Miami has now won five of their last six home games after winning just once in their first four.
The Cavaliers continue to put wins on the board and maintain a 1.5 game lead over the defending champion Celtics. Cleveland walked away with a 116-102 away victory over the Hornets yesterday, marking their fourth win in a row.
The Cavs are the top-scoring team in the NBA, averaging 122.0 points per contest. Unsurprisingly, they’re also the top rated three point shooting team at 40.3% and are one of only two teams shooting above 40% from deep.
