The Cleveland Cavaliers are entering the game with recent wins against the Magic and Pistons. Despite underachieving so far, they face the Miami Heat, a team they lost to last month by a significant margin (129-96). However, the Heat are currently dealing with injuries, particularly missing key players like Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro.
The Cavaliers’ season statistics show an average of 111.3 points per game on 48 per cent shooting while allowing opponents to score 111.1 points on 45.5 per cent shooting. Cleveland shoots 34.7 per cent from beyond the arc and 78.3 per cent from the free-throw line. Defensively, they allow opponents to shoot 36.1 per cent from deep and secure an average of 44.3 rebounds per game.
Considering the injuries to key players on the Miami Heat, particularly Adebayo and Herro, the Cavaliers have an advantage in this matchup. The previous loss to the Heat might serve as motivation for the Cavaliers to bounce back, and the absence of key players for Miami could play a significant role in tipping the scales in favour of the Cleveland side. The Cavaliers will look to exploit this opportunity and secure a win against the Heat and also cover the spread.
Both teams have the potential to contribute to a high-scoring game in this clash. The average implied total for Cleveland this season is 113.2 points, which is 3.2 points higher than the implied total of 110 points in the upcoming game against the Miami Heat.
Throughout the season, the Cavaliers have managed to surpass the 110-point mark in 13 games. On the other hand, Miami’s average implied point total for the season is 113 points, standing five points higher than its implied total for this specific matchup (108 points).
It is also good to note that the 218-point line has been covered in 13 of the last 20 Cavaliers games on the road. Similarly, the 218-point line has been covered in 4 of the last 5 Heat games at home.
