Ahead of their meeting with Cleveland, the Heat played arguably their two best games of the season. First, Erik Spoelstra's team literally destroyed LeBron James' Los Angeles Lakers at home - 134:93. And then, to repeat, yesterday Miami, also at home at the Kaseya Center, confidently outplayed Phoenix - 121:111. It should be noted that for these two games, the Heat made more than 70 assists, reaching the top-10 in the current championship.
Also, it's worth mentioning that in the Eastern Conference standings, Miami is now in the top-6 and with a balance of 11-10 is 0.5 wins ahead of Milwaukee, who is currently seventh.
Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavaliers seized the Eastern Conference lead at the start of the season and have not given it up yet. Kenny Atkinson's team has lost all three games since the start of the season, twice to Atlanta and once to Boston on the road, and has won 21 games so far. Judging by the fact that Cleveland has not slowed down so far, at least a repeat of the NBA record in the form of a 73-9 overall record does not look like an improbable outcome.
Before traveling to Florida, the Cavaliers had won four straight. First, Cleveland defeated Boston (115:111), Washington (118:87) and Denver (126:114) at home, and then defeated Charlotte (116:102) on the road.
Expert Betting Tips
At the moment, Cleveland would be the favorite to play against Miami anyway, and given the Heat's back-to-back, even more so. Erik Spoelstra's team gave a lot of effort yesterday in the game against Phoenix, one of the strongest teams in the Western Conference, and in the upcoming meeting is unlikely to be able to impose a worthy resistance to the Cavaliers. Let's bet on Cleveland to win in a high-scoring game - the Cavs are leading in the offensive rating, scoring 122.0 points per game on average. And the Heat have added to their offense lately, with over 70 assists in the previous two games.
