Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Devesh Jaganath | in NBA Predictions
The Cleveland Cavaliers will travel to the Kaseya Center to face the Miami Heat in the NBA on Thursday morning. The Heat (23-22) are sixth in the Eastern Conference while the Cavs (37-9) lead the conference standings. Let’s get into the match prediction!
The Miami Heat have split their last 10 games five wins and five defeats, but managed to notch up a second win on the bounce on Tuesday when they beat the Magic 125-119 at home.
Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo combined for 56 points, while the team shot 52% from the field and 15 of 41 from long range to finally get over the line in the second period of overtime.
The Heat are ranked 21st on the scoring charts this season, averaging 111.0 points per game, but their greatest strength has been their defence which only allows 110.4 PPG (seventh overall).
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers have cooled off a bit lately, 5-5 in their last 10, but they will be looking to heat back up after thrashing the Pistons 110-91 at home on Tuesday.
Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell both crossed the 20-point mark, but the win was attributable to a big defensive effort that kept Detroit’s offence at bay throughout.
The Cavs are the second-highest-scoring team in the NBA, averaging 121.8 points per game while allowing 112.1 PPG at the other end (12th in the NBA).

Our Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
The Miami Heat came out on top by double-digits when these sides faced off last month, but a lot has happened since then, most notably, the suspension of star man Jimmy Butler.
The Cavs have also been dealing with absentees recently which has contributed to their fairly underwhelming record over the last few weeks. However, they are still one of the best teams in the league and we fancy them to get the cover on this reasonable line. Our Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction is Cleveland Cavaliers -7.5.
If your team in the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
If you want to place a bet on the moneyline in the Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavaliers game, then bet365 is the place to do it. If the team that you have bet on takes a 20-point lead in the game, then bet365 will pay your bet out as a winner. If your team goes on to lose, you are still a winner.
