Cleveland at Miami

March 4, 2017
img8:05 PM Eastern

Cleveland exploded for an NBA-record 25 three-pointers, and Kyrie Irving and LeBron James combined for 81 points in the 135-130 win over Atlanta last night. The Cavaliers shot 54.7 percent overall and 54.3 percent from long distance. Miami has lost two of its last three after a 110-99 defeat at the hands of Orlando Friday night, and now the Heat runs into a buzz saw versus the Cavaliers, who annihilated Miami 114-84 in the last meeting on Dec. 9. The Heat shot only 38.5 percent against the Magic with James Johnson the leading scorer (19 points). Cleveland is 9-3 ATS after scoring 100-plus points and has covered six of its last eight following a win. Cleveland is a small favorite in this matchup, so play the Cavaliers on the moneyline.
