LeBron James is having another MVP-type season for the Cavaliers, ranking third in points and fourth in assists. However, the Heat have outplayed Cleveland lately, winning six of their last 10 meetings and covering in half those games. The Heat have won three straight and four of their last five overall. They’re eighth in the NBA in points allowed as they like to slow things down. The Cavs, meanwhile, like to run and gun, and their 110.8 points per game is the third-best mark in the NBA.
