Trailing 0-2 in the series, the Miami Heat look to stay alive when they play host to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Saturday’s Game 3 at Kaseya Center.

The Heat had no answer to the Cavs’ red-hot offense in the first two games of their best-of-seven Eastern Conference first-round series. Miami could slow down the No.1 offense in the league all season long as they allowed the Cavs to score 121 points in both Game 1 and 2. Tyler Herro scored 21 points in Game 1 and 38 points in Game 2, yet he had no consistent production from his teammates.

The Cavaliers have run like a well-oiled machine in the series so far with Donovan Mitchell scoring 30 points in the first two games. Cleveland also got significant contributions from Darius Garland, Max Struss, and newly-minted defensive player of the year Evan Mobley, who recorded 20 points and 6 rebounds in Game 2.

Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Miami Heat Prediction

Fearless Forecast: Cavaliers raced to a 3-0 lead by torching the Heat anew.

The results in the first two games were enough for me to say this series is a wrap. The Cavaliers are simply the more explosive team of the two, shooting 50 FG% in Game 1 and 2. Coach Erik Spoelstra could make some adjustments ahead of Game 3, but he cannot downplay the absence of another dynamic scorer next to Tyler Herro. In short, the Cavaliers have loads of weapons; the Heat have just one Herro. Our betting prediction for the Miami Heat vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers: Cavaliers -6.5 points.
