The Cleveland Cavaliers face a measly 3.5-point handicap against the Miami Heat in their third meeting this season.
Momentum: The Cleveland Cavaliers will host the Miami Heat, riding a four-game winning streak. The Heat have lost their last five games, the last three against Western Conference powerhouses (Lakers, Rockets, and Spurs).
The Matchup: The Cavs and the Heat split their first two head-to-head games this season. Miami won the first one, 140-138, on November 10, and Cleveland leveled the series with a 130-116 blowout on November 2. The Cavs had not acquired James Harden yet when these two games were played.
The Betting Board: Miami is the road underdog at +134 moneyline, carrying a +3.5-point head start. Cleveland, 9-2 in their last 11 home games, opened -158 moneyline.
