The Miami Heat suspended Jimmy Butler as he was informed at the team's shoot around he would be coming off the bench from now on. That didn't sit well for Butler who walked out of practice. The Heat are trying to move him to another team, and are hoping they can get full value. The Heat lose their strongest defender, and they have been a team that plays at a fast pace, and 14 of their 21 home games have eclipsed the total. That is right in the wheelhouse for a Cleveland team that is 29-16 to the OVER this season. Without Butler on the floor, the efficient Cavs offense will have more room to roam, and add to the 122 PPG they are already averaging on the season. Make the play on the OVER.

The Cavaliers are playing on no rest after a road game yesterday and they are 1-5 ATS when their starters combined for more than 160 minutes the previous day. Miami has won its past three home games by an average of 20.3 points. Take the Heat.

Cleveland at Miami
December 8, 2023
8:10 PM Eastern
Cleveland is on an 8-3 SU, 6-4-1 ATS run. The Cavs have won six of nine on the road this season. Miami is dealing with injuries while on a 2-4 SU, 3-3 ATS slide. Two games ago, they were a home favorite over Indiana and lost, 144-129. Center Bam Adebayo (22.3 ppg, 9.9 rpg), the second-leading scorer and top rebounder, is dealing with a hip contusion and is questionable to play. Miami is 26th defensively at defending the 3-pointer (37.8%) and on a 23-36 spread run at home, plus 27-40 ATS after a victory. Play Cleveland.
