Game Preview

 
At Miami-Dade Arena on Wednesday, the Miami Heat will play the Cleveland Cavaliers. Cleveland is 41-26 overall and 13-19 on the road, while Miami is 35-31 overall and 21-12 at home. Both of these teams’ earlier-season encounters, which took place in Cleveland, ended in a victory for each side. The first game of a back-to-back in Miami is on Wednesday; the second game is on Friday.
 
In a thrilling game on Monday against the Atlanta Hawks, the Heat prevailed 130–128. Strong play after the first quarter helped the team come back from a 43-30 deficit to win. Jimmy Butler, Miami’s forward, had another spectacular night with 26 points, nine assists, and nine rebounds.
 
Miami’s defense, which ranks second in points allowed per game and seventh in defensive rating, is their calling card. Yet, it suffers on the opposite end of the court and scores the fewest points per game in the NBA. Kevin Love, a former Cav, was added to the team to aid on that end of the court, but the veteran has struggled, averaging only 7.5 points on 36.6% shooting in six games. As Kyle Lowry is unavailable, Kevin Love is questionable for Wednesday.
