The 6-6 Cavaliers face the 5-6 Heat at the Kaseya Center, and the game will also count towards NBA Cup play, where both Miami and Cleveland have already won their first game.
The Heat will take to the court after securing their fifth win of the season, a 115-109 victory over the Jazz on November 10th. Like an unstoppable juggernaut, Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 30 points; Mitchell added 19, and Pelle Larsson chipped in 14. Late blocks by Thompson and Adebayo were crucial in securing the win against Utah. For Miami, however, there's some doubt about whether Antetokounmpo will be on the court on Friday. He was seen with an ice pack on his wrist on the bench, but it didn't seem to affect his performance. However, the latest reports indicate that the Greek Freak will be available against Cleveland.
The Cavs also come into this game after a 115-107 victory over the reigning champion Knicks in New York. They displayed great teamwork and managed their 10-point first-quarter lead well; Harden had a season-high 32-point night.

Our Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
These teams meet again after facing off on March 27 of last season in a high-scoring game that the Cavaliers won 149-128. The Cavaliers are coming off a resurgent Harden night; prior to his 32-point performance against the Knicks, he was averaging 36.4 points per game.
There are high expectations for Miami that, for now, seem not to be met, but it has not been the fault of their hot acquisition Antetokounmpo, who has actually recorded a double-double in 9 consecutive games.
Our prediction for Heat vs Cavaliers is: Over 236.5.
