The Cleveland Cavaliers (11-10) face the Miami Heat (13-8) in a key matchup, with the Cavs looking to extend their winning streak to three games after getting their starters back from injuries.

Key Game Factors:

  • Heat stars Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo are questionable
  • Cavs have been strong against the spread this season
  • Cleveland showing improved competitiveness in their rebuild
  • If Adebayo is out, expect big games from Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley
  • Kevin Love continues strong bench performance

Betting Analysis:

  • Current spread: Heat -6
  • Recommended bet: Cavaliers +6
  • Money line also favors Cavs, even if Butler/Adebayo play
  • Cavs' momentum from Dallas blowout win and healthy roster makes them attractive underdogs

Bottom Line: The Cavaliers look positioned to both cover the spread and potentially win outright, making the +6 spread an appealing bet given their recent form and the Heat's uncertain lineup status.

Bet: Cavaliers +6
