It's doubtful that Cleveland has much left in the tank after losing at home to Atlanta on Friday night, then suffering a major meltdown on Sunday blowing a 26-point lead fourth quarter lead, and then losing in overtime to the Hawks again. LeBron James played nearly 47 minutes, and Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving also played more than 40 minutes, and now the Cavs go on the road against Miami, which has won the last 12 meetings at home. The Heat won't lack for motivation as it can't afford a loss if it wants to keep its playoff hopes alive. Miami came through with a big win over Washington as Hassan Whiteside scored 30 points and pulled down 12 rebounds, and James Johnson added 15 points and 11 boards. The Heat is getting contributions from throughout its roster as Tyler Johnson came off the bench to score 19 points on Saturday. Take the Heat on the moneyline.
