Donovan Mitchell's Cavaliers are on a tear with a new 4-game winning streak and the best record in the Eastern Conference at 21-3 as they visit the Heat in Miami, where the hosts are coming off a 134-93 victory over the Lakers.

The Cavaliers started a 4-game unbeaten December by beating the reigning champions, the Celtics, by 4 points in Cleveland in the battle for the top of the conference. Then came victories against the Wizards and Nuggets, and in the first game of the two-game road trip they beat the Hornets 116-102 with Mobley's career-high 41 points in a sublime game. The Cavaliers will be the favorites away from Cleveland for the eighth time this season when they face the Heat, and in the previous 7 times they won in 6. They will also do so playing on consecutive nights where they only know victory this season with a 4-0 record.

The Heat snapped a two-game losing streak by beating the Lakers in a comfortable game where they had a maximum of 43 points over their rivals. It was the Heat's 24 three-pointers that outperformed their team by too much against only 5 by the Lakers.

Our Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

Cavaliers will be 3.5-point favorites at betting sites to score another consecutive win. However, the Heat's offensive display against the Lakers, led by Herro who scored 31 points, 21 of them in one quarter, and the team also registering 42 assists, suggests that what we can see on Sunday will be a high-scoring power-to-power duel. It is a duel between an offense that is coming off of tying its record for three-pointers in a game with 24 against the unstoppable Cavaliers. Our prediction for Cavaliers vs Heat is: Over 225.5 points.
