Cleveland can play any style, but they are having little trouble with Miami's slower approach. Cleveland is up 3-0, holding the Heat to 100, 112, and 87 points. During the regular season, the Cavs were 12th in points given up, third in shooting allowed, and 13th in defending beyond the arc. The second-leading scorer, Darius Garland, missed Game 3 and is questionable to play. Miami was seventh in points given up and 12th in shooting allowed, while the offense was 24th in points scored and 18th in shooting. Miami shot 42.1% at home in Game 3 and mustered just 42 first-half points. Play Cleveland + UNDER the total + First Half UNDER the total.
