Cleveland Cavaliers at Miami Heat
When: Tuesday, March 27, 8 p.m. ET
Where: American Airlines Arena, Miami
Betting Line / Total: Cleveland -4 / 218.5 Points
Cleveland Cavaliers
With a scoring defense that ranks 27th in the NBA allowing a dreadful 110.3 points per game this season, the Cavaliers’ only path to success is to score a ton of points. They’ve been doing just that over their current winning streak racking up 122.2 points per game over their last five games. The most impressive win over that run came in a 132-129 home win over the Toronto Raptors.
Cleveland’s defense doesn’t leave the team much room for error, but a red-hot LeBron James who has averaged 31.5 points per game in the month of March indicates that the Eastern Conference should still be on high alert.
The Cavaliers are 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS in their last three games as a road favorite since going 3-12 SU and 2-13 ATS in their previous 15 games as the favorite per the OddsShark NBA Database.
Miami Heat
Miami saw its recent three-game winning streak snapped with two straight road losses to Oklahoma City and Indiana. The Heat will be thrilled to play six of their last eight regular-season games in Miami as the team is 9-1 SU and 8-1-1 ATS in its last 10 home games and 6-0 SU and ATS in its last six.
Since Dec. 15, 2010, Miami is a perfect 13-0 SU in 13 home games against the Cavaliers.
Tuesday’s total is set at 218.5 points. The UNDER is 3-1 in the last four games between Cleveland and Miami.
The Heat sit just 1.5 games behind Washington for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference, a spot that could land them a first-round postseason matchup with the Cavaliers. Cleveland would love to snap its road losing streak against the Heat before facing that potential matchup.
