Donovan Mitchell's dominant Cavaliers seem to have lost a bit of their momentum, winning 5 and losing 5 in their last 10 games. They now head to the Kaseya Center in Miami, where they already lost 113-122 to the Heat this season on December 8. After the Cavs lost 3 games in a row for the first time this season, they bounced back with their 37th win of the 2024-2025 season against the Pistons. They were able to win by almost 20 points despite the absence of their rotational players LeVert, Okoro and Dean Wade. However, in that win, they weren't very good at shooting from long range, making just 12 of 44 attempts.

With the latest win against their Florida rival, the Magic, the Heat now have a positive record of 23-22 this season, and in the midst of the Butler controversy, Herro took charge of leading his team in points with 30 on a very good night where he also contributed with 12 assists. The Heat went 52% FG against the Magic, in addition to capitalizing on 29 points via turnovers from the rival.

Our Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

After losing three games in a row, Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson preferred, taking into account the important injuries in rotations, to stick to a more physical and defensive basketball that worked for them to win against the Pistons despite the inaccuracy of his players in 3-point shots. However, January has been the most losing month for the Cavs and this visit to the Heat, who they have not beaten since 2023, seems to come at a bad time. Our prediction for Heat vs Cavaliers is: Heat ML.
