Betting on the Cleveland Cavaliers
- Regular Season Record: 41-26.
The squad coached by J.B. Bickerstaff seems to have rediscovered the consistent collective performance shown in February, which led them to string together seven victories in a row. The team arrives to these series against Miami after achieving a win against the Boston Celtics. The Cavs took the win in overtime by a tight 118-114 score after coming back from a 14-point deficit in the final quarter.
Cleveland once again demonstrated its strength playing at home. However, the team has not performed so well when playing away, since it has only managed to achieve 13 wins out of 32 games played. Heading into the Cavaliers vs Heat game, the Cavaliers’ record playing away from home puts them among the six worst franchises in the Eastern Conference.
The Cavaliers’ great season is largely due to their defensive consistency. With an average of 106.6 points allowed per game, the visiting team boasts the best record in the NBA. However, this squad will face the second most important team in the league, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity to bet on a final low score.
Betting on the Miami Heat
- Regular Season Record: 35-31.
Miami seems to have gotten back on its way in front of its fanbase after suffering three losses in a row. In just a few days, the team defeated the Atlanta Hawks twice, by 117-109 and 130-128 respectively. These two results allowed Erik Spoelstra’s squad to consolidate its position in the Play-In zone.
Moreover, the Heat boast the fifth-best record in their Conference playing at home, with a 21-12 record. However, if they want to continue winning, they will have to surround Donovan Mitchell, their main star, better. Despite the outstanding performance of the shooting guard, who averaged 27.6 points in the regular season, the home team is the worst offensive team in the competition with only 108.5 points per game.
JefeBet Prediction
The NBA’s two best defenses will go head-to-head in a game that will determine their Playoff ambitions.
In fact, a Cleveland team that boasts the best point differential in the tournament at +5.5 will face a Miami team that owns a negative differential of -0.6. Due to the great moment that their defense is going through and the influence of Mitchell in the game, who scored 40 points against the Celtics, at JefeBet we predict that the visiting team will win this Cavaliers vs Heat game.
Prediction: Cleveland Cavaliers Moneyline.
