Cleveland Cavaliers @ Miami Heat Preview

The Cleveland Cavaliers (37-9) lead the Eastern Conference and are coming off a dominant 110-91 win over the Detroit Pistons. They boast the second-highest scoring offense in the league, averaging 121.8 points per game, and are solid defensively, allowing 112.1 points per game. Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell continue to lead the charge for Cleveland, with both players consistently putting up strong performances.

The Miami Heat (23-22) sit sixth in the Eastern Conference and are coming off a thrilling double-overtime victory against the Orlando Magic, 125-119. Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo combined for 56 points in that game, showcasing their offensive capabilities. However, the Heat's strength lies in their defense, which ranks seventh in the league, allowing just 110.4 points per game. The absence of Jimmy Butler due to suspension will be a significant factor in this matchup.
