The Cleveland Cavaliers (11-10) face the Miami Heat (13-8) in a crucial matchup. After a challenging stretch with multiple starters sidelined, the Cavaliers are getting healthy and riding a two-game winning streak.

Key Game Factors:

• Heat stars Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo are questionable
• Cavs have been reliable against the spread this season
• Cleveland showing improved competitiveness in their rebuild
• Cavs' frontcourt of Allen and Mobley could dominate if Adebayo sits
• Kevin Love continuing strong bench performance

Betting Analysis:

• Current Spread: Heat -6
• Recommended Bet: Cavaliers +6
• Reasoning: Cavs' improved health, momentum from Dallas win, and potential Heat absences make Cleveland an attractive underdog

The Cavaliers enter this game with momentum and urgency, aware of their challenging upcoming schedule. Even if Butler and Adebayo play, Cleveland's recent form and improved roster health make them a strong value play both against the spread and on the money line.
