By Marc Lawrence, PlaybookSports.com — Oops. We were a bit premature when we posted this on Wednesday, when in fact this game tips tonight. Once again, here are the nuts and bolts..
The Heat have had this game circled ever since the Cavs clocked them in Cleveland, 105-94, in mid-December. That was on the heels of a 111-85 crush job by the Cavs over the Heat on this floor on December 1.
With it, these are the sort of games Erik Spoelstra lives for. Miami’s maestro is 99-79-1 ATS at home with same season revenge, including 92-25-1 ATS in those games he wins straight-up on the scoreboard.
And then there is Cleveland. Even after the two wins this season, the Cavs check in just 4-11 SUATS in this series, including 1-7 ATS in Miami. You know the deal.
