Cleveland at Miami

Premium Pick

It has been a frustrating season for LeBron James who holds his future cards in his hands and he may walk and seek out an elite team in his thirst for another ring. Cleveland has had a trying season, revamped their roster, and LeBron is playing at a very high level. The Cavaliers have won five straight games, and have averaged 122.2 points per game in the process. Miami lacks the firepower to hang with Cleveland here. One of the biggest advantages they had over Cleveland is Hassan Whiteside in the paint, but he won't play tonight. The Heat have allowed 118.5 ppg against the last four winning teams they have faced, and will be hard pressed to stop LeBron and Co. without their enforcer in the paint. Lay the points and take Cleveland.
