Cavaliers at Heat: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Heat 111, Cavaliers 97
Money line (ML)
The Heat (-550) will cost you five and a half times your potential return, and that's just way too risky even though Miami is at home against a mediocre opponent.
AVOID, and look to the spread.

Against the spread (ATS)
The HEAT -10.5 (-110) are worth a light wager against the skidding Cavaliers.
Miami enters on a four-game win streak and has rattled off 10 victories in its last 11 outings while going 8-3 ATS during the span. On the flip side, the Cavs scored just 82 points in each of their past two games while allowing 108.0 points per game, and they have lost three in a row.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 208.5 (-110) is the play, with the Under going 2-0 in the past two for Cleveland, and 8-2 across their past 10 games.
Points have been at a premium for the Cavs lately. Miami has also hit the Under in five of its past six outings, allowing 99 or fewer points in five of its last six.
