What to Know
The Cleveland Cavaliers are 5-16 against the Miami Heat since October of 2015, but they’ll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Wednesday. Cleveland is staying on the road to face off against Miami at 7:30 p.m. ET Dec. 1 at FTX Arena. The Cavaliers will be strutting in after a victory while the Heat will be stumbling in from a defeat.
Cleveland strolled past the Dallas Mavericks with points to spare on Monday, taking the contest 114-96. Cleveland’s center Jarrett Allen did his thing and posted a double-double on 28 points and 14 boards.
Meanwhile, Miami came up short against the Denver Nuggets on Monday, falling 120-111. Point guard Kyle Lowry put forth a good effort for the losing side as he dropped a double-double on 17 points and 14 assists.
The Cavaliers are expected to lose this next one by 7.5. They are currently four-for-four against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
Cleveland’s win brought them up to 11-10 while the Heat’s loss pulled them down to 13-8. A couple stats to keep an eye on: Cleveland comes into the game boasting the second fewest fouls per game in the league at 16.5. But Miami ranks second in the league when it comes to fouls drawn per game, with 20.2 on average. The ref’s whistle might dictate the flow of action in this one.
