The Miami Heat will be hoping to prolong their NBA Playoff run on Monday night when they face the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 4 at the Kaseya Center. The Heat are on the verge of elimination, with the Cavs 3-0 up in the series. Let’s get into the match prediction.

After a better showing in Game 2, there was optimism that the Miami Heat may be able to challenge the Cavs when the series moved to Florida. 

Unfortunately for Heat fans, they saw their team get dismantled in Game 3, losing 124-87 on Friday. Bam Adebayo led the team with 22 points but also committed six turnovers, while Davion Mitchell and Tyler Herro combined for 29 points. 

Miami’s major issue has been their inability to find a reliable point scorer. Despite Herro showing promise earlier in the series, his shot conversion has been way off the mark.

Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers turned it up a notch in Game 3 and flexed the depth of their roster with their bench contributing 52 points. 

After back-to-back 30+ point hauls, Donovan Mitchell had a quiet night with 13 points, but Jarrett Allen stepped up with 22 points and De’Andre Hunter chipped in with 21 points off the bench. 

Friday’s game was arguably their most dominant performance in the series, and what makes it all the more impressive is that they got the job done with Darius Garland, who was out with an injury.
