Miami Heat Meet Hot Cavs
The Cleveland Cavaliers will look to extend their current winning streak to six games this Tuesday night in a road game against the Miami Heat. Tip-off from American Airlines Arena is set for 8 p.m. on TNT. VietBet opened the Cavaliers as slight 2.5-point favorites with the total set at 218.5. The line is now Cleveland -3 and the total is up to 221. Cleveland’s straight-winning streak reached five games with Sunday’s 121-114 victory on the road against Brooklyn. The Cavs were a 6.5-point favorite with VietBet. The Cavaliers are third in the Eastern Conference at 44-29. They have gone 4-1 against the spread over their last five games. The total has gone OVER in six of their last eight outings. LeBron James’ game-high 37 points in Sunday’s win was the fifth time in his last six starts that he crossed the 30-point mark. He also added 10 rebounds and eight assists. Cleveland is the fifth-highest scoring team in the NBA with an average of 111.1 points per game. The return of Kevin Love has provided a scoring boost. He has had an average of 20.3 points in his last four games. The Cavaliers fall to 27th in the league at the other end of the court in points allowed at 110.3.Miami Heat Still in Playoff Race
The Heat are still battling for a playoff spot in the East at 39-35. Sunday’s 113-107 overtime loss to Indiana as 3.5-point road underdogs made it harder. They are still just a game and a half back for sixth place in the standings. Miami is 22-13 SU (14-17-4 ATS) at home this season. They have won their last six home games both SU and ATS. The total has gone OVER or ended as a PUSH in four of those six games. Miami is well down the list in scoring this season. They only have an average of 103.3 PPG. The Heat still have scoring balance throughout its lineup with nine players averaging at least 11 points a game. Six different players were in double figures in Sunday’s loss. Tyler Johnson leading the way with 19 points. Goran Dragic leads the Heat in scoring this season with 17.5 PPG. He was held to just nine points against Indiana. Cleveland brings a hot hand into Miami on Tuesday night, but I am still going with the Heat at home both SU and ATS. They have played their best ball lately on their home court.
